The Adcola irons that Leevers used and that my Dad had from the early fifties had a brown bakelite handle with a Tufnol tube arrangement. I don`t remember a model number, just 25 watt although a very late one in similar but smaller style was 15 watts.
Leevers Rich stopped using them circa 1971,I think my Dad`s just died and he had a Weller by then.
