Description
This is a nice old cast iron clothing iron. These old pieces were put onto coals or a fire and heated to do the ironing. They are fairly common, even today. They have survived over the years, although some not in such nice condition, because they are made of cast iron. This piece is heavy and would easily make a doorstop. It is also great decor for a laundry room. It has been folk art painted. (not by me). It is 6" from the base to the point of the ironing portion. It is 3 3/4" across the bottom. It is 4 3/4" from the iron to the top of the handle. A very nice old piece. There are some small chips in the paint and at some time, this piece was painted red.
