Child Size Alba Split Chimney Charcoal IronChild-Size Alba "Split Chimney" Charcoal Iron  This Portuguese child's charcoal iron measures just 4" in length.  It has a very unusual design with the top half of the chimney opening up as one-piece with the rest of the iron top, with a latch at the mouth of the stack.  There are some antique children's irons that are amazingly detailed and were probably produced in very limited quantities, and this is certainly one of those.  It's full size counterpart is hard enough to find---this little one even more so, especially in this nice condition and complete with its inside grate.

Child's French Sad Iron with Fox and CrowChild's French Sad Iron with Fox and Crow  This child's iron is embossed in high relief with an image from the French fable of the Fox and the Crow, which goes along the lines of the wise fox coveting the piece of cheese held in the mouth of the crow, so he flatters him---whereupon the foolish crow opens his beak to thank his admirer and in the process lets the cheese fall right into the fox's mouth.

Moral of the story---when someone pays you a compliment keep your mouth shut.  Huh?
