Child-Size IronStrap Handle Child-Size Pressing Iron  This antique iron is the very iron that was photographed in Figure 106 of Judy Politizer's Early Tuesday Morning book, and it has been in the same collection ever since.  Opportunities like this to own a piece of history are few and far between.  Measuring in at just under 3.5 inches it was constructed with a one-piece bent strap handle and a nicely defined stepped base. 

Good . . . . .  $45.00       SOLD





Hollow 
	Grip Little Sad IronHollow Grip Little Sad Iron Marked "A"  I guess the idea here with the marking was to think outside the box, and if number "1" was already taken then go with the letter "A".  This hollow grip iron has a rounded toe, a nice thick base, and measures about 2 7/8 inches long.  The letter A is nicely defined.

Good . . . . .  $35.00       SOLD





8 
	Point Star Wire Handled Little Iron8 Point Star Wire Handled Little Iron  This little iron measures only 2 3/4 inches long and is embossed on the top with an 8 point star.  A really neat piece!

Good . . . . .  $35.00       SOLD






Spade Iron Embossed with a FlowerLittle Spade Sad Iron Embossed with a Flower  This little antique flatiron is really charming with a flower embossed on the base that looks like a rose or perhaps a camellia.  It measures 3 1/4 inches long and has an early pounded rolled hollow grip handle.

Good . . . . .  $45.00       SOLD






antique sad ironsTwo Very Tiny Curled Handle Sad Irons with Trivets  There are a multitude of variations to be found in this style of iron, but the little ones like this are especially hard to find, especially complete with their trivets.  They both measure about 1.25 inches.

Good . . . . .  $45.00       SOLD




Sad Iron Embossed with 6 Point StarLittle Iron Embossed with 6 Point Star  This is one of the sweetest little irons I have ever seen!  There is a nicely cast 6 pointed star embossed on the base that is very graphic and ornamental.  The little rod handle with square collars at the sockets is a nice design feature as well.  The iron has a slightly rounded front and measures only 2.5 inches long.

Good . . . . .  $65.00       SOLD





Tri-Bump Handle Sad IronBeautiful Ridged Tri-Bump Handle Sad Iron  This little tri-bump iron is a classic!  The iron is beautifully cast, very delicate and sharply defined, with an extremely smooth surface and excellent patina.  All three "bumps" have swirled ridges cast into the design, making for a really attractive look.  It is complete with matching cathedral design trivet.  The little iron measures about 3.25 inches long.

Good . . . . .  $45.00       SOLD




Kenrick Child-Size Sad IronKenrick Child-Size Sad Iron  The iron is marked M OR as well as Kenrick and the layout of the letters on the body of this very nice iron is interesting.  It is English and by the foremost maker of irons and other cast iron from that country.  It measures 4 1/2" long and has a rolled strap handle.  A nice piece.

Miniature Ober Sleeve IronAntique Cast Iron Shell Double Point Iron   This small double point iron, dubbed The Baby, has great form and look.  The body is unmarked.  The outer shell is cast iron instead of pressed steel.  It must have been far more expensive to produce than those more common ones.  I wonder how much more it cost in its day?

Miniature Ober Sleeve Iron#0 "Chattanooga"  Implement Co. Toy Iron   A very nice example of the smallest size of this iron.  Over the years I have seen just a few of these irons, usually in larger sizes, and no more than a couple of them in this #0 size.  I am not sure if this outfit made these as part of their regular business, gave these out as advertising, or ........?  It is a pretty hard to come by iron in this small size.

Miniature Ober Sleeve Iron"Amazoc"  Antique Decorative Iron   A very nice example.  These are said to come from one region of Mexico.  The engraving looks like what one would expect to see on fine firearms, spurs, or the like.  Perhaps they made these as part of their training.
