Brass
/ Bronze Horseshoe-shaped Trivet with Star
This is one I haven't seen before. It is made of brass or bronze
and has a really wonderful dark, rich patina and a smooth and slightly worn surface.
The 6-pointed star that is cast into the center of the horseshoe is marked with
the words "Good Luck", and there is an Oriental character to the lettering style.
This trivet was purchased in Northern California and probably dates back to the
days when San Francisco and other cities had numerous Chinese laundries.

Folding
/ Hinged Trivet for Pease Combination Flatiron / Fluter
This odd and unusual-looking trivet is a mystery
to many with a function that is actually very cleaver and unique. It is extremely
unusual in design, having a hinged front "toe" that allows it to fold down.
Invented by Horace Pease, the maker of the highly-regarded Pease Combination iron,
the trivet was designed to allow the iron to go from being a flatiron to a fluter.
When used as a traditional trivet it functioned as a stand that was a perfect fit
for the base of the charcoal heated Pease flatiron. But the second function
provided that when the trivet was moved to the edge of the ironing board or ironing
table so that the toe was allowed to overhang and fold down over the edge, it allowed
the iron to be laid over on its side so that the fluting plate that was attached
to the side of the iron could be used in an upright position, converting it from
flatiron to fluter. The trivet is the hardest part of the complete Pease iron
set to find, as many undoubtedly got separated and forever lost. Whether you
use to complete your set or simply to display for its interesting and intriguing
design I guarantee you will love the condition of this example.

Double
Pointed Ironing "Shoe Often mistakenly
called a trivet, this innovative ironing device was clamped onto the sole of a sadiron
after it had been heated on the stove, helping to alleviate the persistent problem
of the soot and ashes that were invariably picked up by iron bottom as it was warming
and which were so un-welcomed around clean laundry.
