German
Child Size Ox-Tongue Iron with Engraved Sides
This is a unusual and seldom seen
mini ox tongue iron. The body is solid but meant to resemble it's full-size
slug-heated counterpart. The decoration on the side is of a fire breathing
dragon. It is very detailed and very finely cast. A special little
3 1/2" iron! Highly recommend!
Good . . . . . SOLD
Myers
Patent Double Point Miniature Lace Iron
According to Judy Politzer's reference in the classic reference Tuesday's
Children, Reuben Meyers was granted a patent for this pressing iron as a
"lace iron", although it undoubtedly doubled as an iron small enough to be easily
handled by a child. Hailing from Mount Joy, PA this iron is beautifully
designed and manufactured to the same exacting standards of workmanship that
the other assorted Meyers irons are known for. This example is the smaller
size.
Very Good . . . . . . SOLD!

Sensible
No. 6 Sad Iron Variation Marked "R.M.W. & Co."
A variation of the typical Sensible No. 6 little iron, this one bears a patent
date of June 13 '88 cast into the edge of the handle, a year later than the
original Streeter patent, and according to Frank & Judy Politzer it is probably
a Canadian look-a-like. Note the detailing in the wooden handle grip.
The base of the iron measures 3 7/8" and is turned up polisher-style at one
end.
Good . . . . . SOLD
Streeter's
Sensible No. 6 Detachable Handle Child's Sad Iron
You could make an interesting collection of antique irons by simply collecting
all of the many variations and sizes of irons made by Nelson R. Streeter & Co.
of Upstate New York. The Sensible No. 6 is one of the smallest that they
manufactured and is a 4" double-pointed removable handle style patented in the
late 1800's. The spring-loaded thumb latch makes for a secure fit, and
this is the version that features indented side panels on the base. There
is a bit of texture from pitting on the top and top edges of the base, but the
nickeled portions on the sides and the entire bottom are smooth and have most
of their original nickel remaining and the wooden grip is excellent.
Good . . . . . SOLD
Rare
Stevens Child Size Sad Iron
I don't believe I have seen this iron pictured
or identified in any of the books, but given the exquisite design, the style
of the handle, and the high quality of the casting I am willing to wager that
it is one more in the line of J. & E. Stevens. The wafer-thin base measures
just under 3" long.
