Hiya Larry - that sounds a bit messy, and timee-consuming, right?
We had, by 1955 - 1960 at my house, our dad's big Soldering Iron and
it was indeed iron - 240V AC, and it was big, but it had a
HUMUNGOUS! "TIP" and a wood handle (of course - most tools did
back then) - and the "Cord" as some American speakers call it, was braided cloth-covered of black and white threads in a zig zag pattern, like tartan (that's "PLAID" for the Americans!) - that looked indestructible.
I would love to know what became of that iron...

When i was a Senior in HS many yeas ago the shop teacher let me work on
an old
radio and get credit for the class. it was indeed an old soldering
copper like you
folks have described, heated by a fire or some sort of torch. Sure took
a while to get
anything done with it.
What a lot of you may not know is that years ago your local
telephone company repairman or cable splicer would when working with lead
sheathed cable use a propane heater to heat his soldering iron when
closing or
repairing the splice enclosures. That and a tin of molten lead. What fun!
