1. You might want to go to our page on Mrs. Potts Sad Irons and focus your paper on Mrs. Elizabeth Potts, the INVENTOR of the Potts Removable Handle Iron. The page has EXCELLENT photos and good factual content...(really just perfect for a school report). Also follow the link to the Patent Model Intellectual Property Museum page (see item #14) at Franklin Pearce College in New Hampshire. This adds credibility to your research.

If you want "just the pictures" on the page, click on the following links. That way you can print out separate color pictures, without the text content!
