This Ironrite was the most popular mangle of its day. This is most likely a model 85, circa 1940.
The knee pressure pedal operates the rollers which requires practice to accomplish that perfectly ironed dress. The mangle was considered one of the most innovated inventions to alleviate the drudgery of everyday hand ironing.
Tuesday is Ironing Day.
