I know i'm picking nits here, but are you sure you don't mean Electrolysis ?
I Googled "electrologist" and came up with the following:
An electrologist is someone who practices Electrology.
Electrology is the practice of electrical hair removal to permanently remove human hair from the body.
Or, maybe the iron was real hairy and it took a week to remove it all ?
Nice job on that iron though, whichever method you used

What is your setup? These items look great, I am obviously not doing it well. I would love see a picture.

Nice find
When I first started detecting in 1977 I had the old Bounty Hunter boxy metal detector that had no discrimination.
I hunted my grandmothers front yard and started digging out all types of metal items like car parts, etc.
I found an old iron like that one. It was pretty intact too.
At the time before my grandmother built a house there, the area was used as a dump since there was no garbage collection then.
You never know what you'll find when you start digging.
Keep on digging them up.

All right Kale I gotcha you I want bought these things for $8.99 at the hardware store it’s what charges at all the Black goes on a sacrificial piece of iron are used all broken a wrench and then the red will go on to your Rusty stuff
Then you need a bucket to put your water in you just put enough water in to where it’s underwater
Then you get your baking soda and sprinkle it in there you know nice little amount not the whole thing and nothing you know
On YouTube there’s videos of much nicer set ups where they put the bars on top of the bucket and they hang wires onto the object and then they put the clampers on the bars so they don’t get eaten up in the water apparently they say it’s dangerous have it in there now I’ve never had a problem with it. It’s fun you hear it if you stick your head in the bucket you hear it sizzling then the next morning the water’s A little darker next morning a little darker next morning not as some of orange stuff foreman around it about two more days to check it periodically go and get yourself a wire brush and scrape it down with that if it’s got a lot of rust on it to begin with I just like chiseling a lot of that off first with a small hammer and a small screwdriver and with that its history. Good luck brother
