OK, Dave, thanks--that answers my question of "how the heck did this
thing work".

This one has the bed iron, just no blade and I was trying to visualize
what/how it was supposed to be used (and used for).

Unfortunately, while something of a curiousity, I see no gain in having
found it...

Yeah, the only reason I have one is that it came from Gramps. It''s
not even worth the effor to sell on eBay, AFAICT.
