Summary
A Telsen travelling iron 200-230v, 175 watts. It has a plain base with the body of the iron being blue in colour and a black bakelite handle. In original cardboard box (SUD/M/135 b), the box was originally 1 piece but the lid has become separated from the rest with age and use. The flex shows some slight wear and there is some slight scuffing to the base of the iron. There is some slight rusting of metal on the screws which attach the name plate.
