Old Cast Iron Iron. My great Aunt Gave me This One A Long Time Ago. She Said They Use To Put On The Wood Burning Stove To Get Hot And that They Would Use The Starch Off The Rice To Iron Their Clothes. I used To keep It On The Bottom Of My Fireplace. Thanks For Lookin Yall! God Bless!

    She was right in what she told you. Rich people had a trivet to put them on and poor people just set them on the stove. Not much rice where we lived so they made starch from potato. Then electricity came along and the smell of those old sad irons went it's way. We have one left with a trivet that we use as a door stop. Can't get rid of everything or you will forget some fond memories.

    Thanks for sharing

    I wonder if you know when this handle on this one was repaired? The shoe under it looks like an optional extra as they call it now days. Believe it or not they had add on's for these irons for an extra charge.

    Now I blow the pictures up I wonder it the upper portion of it is hollow? It seems to have a hole for pouring water in, like a steam iron. The handle is totally odd and keeps drawing me back for another look.

    It has never Been Repaired Since I have Had It. It does Not Appear To have A hole In It for Water. It is Really Solid and heavy. Thank You for Your Observations and Interest!!!
