Strap
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 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 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
Little
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
Two
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
Little
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
Beautiful
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 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.
Good . . . . . $25.00 SOLD

Antique J & F Belgian Cap Iron This
oval cap iron has
a great form and look. The name and trumpet or horn logo are one I have not seen
before. Nice! 2011-LIST-15-4
Good + . . . . . . $65.00 SOLD!
Antique 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? 2011-LIST-15-5
Good + . . . . . . $75.00 SOLD!
"The Pearl" Double Point Toy Iron
A very nice example of the smallest size Pearl. 2011-LIST-15-6
Good + . . . . . . $45.00 SOLD!
Antique Miniature Gas Jet Iron
A very nice example. The bottom has a curvature for
polishing and for hatters. I believe the hole in the side is
to heat a curling iron. Different!! 2011-LIST-15-7
Good + . . . . . . $195.00 SOLD!
#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. 2011-LIST-15-10
Good + . . . . . . $95.00 SOLD!
"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. 2011-LIST-15-11
Good + . . . . . . $125.00 SOLD!
Primitive Blacksmith Made Iron w/ Unusual Handle
This small early iron has a very interesting look. It is
forged from one piece and then the handle was fold up and over, the area in
the center flattened out, and the the front tip was curled into a tight
ball. A great piece of workmanship. Different, rare and nice!!
2011-LIST-15-12 SOLD!
