All patents are complete, that means contain the full text and all drawings (see example - often the drawings are artful and informative). The amount of the material is more than 7000 pages!! The patents inform about flat irons, ironing (smoothing) devices and a lot of accessories like flat iron tables, heaters and some more. I think that it is a very interesting material for all flat iron collectors. Delivery is as pdf-file collection on CD (not as printed book!). Each file contains one complete patent.
