    I can read JA(?) on the front of the handle where it attaches to this fancy iron, which has a lady watering a large pot of flowers on it.

    I'd like to know:
    Age, where it was made, scarcity.

    Thank you.

      I will go with around 1870 or earlier as that is when the irons with removable handles came about. I'm thinking you already searched the net for info. I don't know anything about this one off the top of my head. My educated guess is 1860.
    2. SpiritBear, 8 years ago
      That's pretty old.
    3. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      Yes, agree with fortapache. This is a Victorian era flat iron.
    4. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      Not possible to tell you where it was made, as these were mass produced.
    5. SpiritBear, 8 years ago
      Thank you, EfesGirl, but it is possible if someone with a good knowledge of companies that pertain to these comes around and says "JA(?) is really ____!"
    6. Efesgirl Efesgirl, 8 years ago
      I can't see the mark in the photos.
      This is one possibility, but without the last letter....
