Description

This one isn’t a darner in the traditional sense, instead it functions as a mini ironing board. It would be inserted into a clothing item and used as a surface when attaching an iron-on patch. This style on a handle is sometimes called a lollipop darner. Stamped: "NO-DARN -- REG. US.PATENT OFF. -- SOCK & HOSE MENDING KNOB."
