This is a vintage, high quality soldering iron ? an American Beauty 300 Watt 110-120 V Model #3178 that still works like a charm! It is heavy duty and designed for heavy jobs and production lines. The maximum temperature is 1000 F. The iron is in excellent condition though it does show signs of use. It is about 13 1/2 ? x 2 ? and it?s head is 1 ? in diameter. The cord is a good length but before using you may want to check it over as there is some fraying in the cloth-like covering.
