Description
Antique Coal Iron w/ Claw Brass Handle 1900s Sad Iron Weight : 6.6 pounds AI : This object is an antique charcoal iron, a precursor to the modern electric iron. Used primarily in the 19th and early 20th centuries, these heavy metal tools were filled with hot coals or glowing embers to generate the heat needed for pressing fabric. Key Features * Charcoal Chamber: The hollow body of the iron served as a container for hot coals. * Ventilation Holes: The triangular or arched cutouts along the base allowed air to circulate, keeping the charcoal smoldering while in use. * Rooster Latch: The small rooster figure on the front is a decorative latch or "finial" used to secure the hinged lid. * Wooden Handle: Designed to protect the user's hand from the heat of the metal body. These irons are often referred to as "sad irons" (where "sad" historically meant heavy or solid) or "coal irons". Today, they are popular as rustic farmhouse decor or collectible antiques. Based on the "TRADE MARK" logo featuring a central animal—often identified as an alligator or crocodile—this antique charcoal iron was likely manufactured in continental Europe or Asia, specifically associated with late 19th and early 20th-century production. Manufacturing Origins * European Production: Many charcoal irons with similar serrated lids and distinctive logos were manufactured in countries like Portugal, Hungary, and France during the early 1900s. Similar designs are also attributed to Russian factories such as Demidov's, which produced cast iron home goods through sand casting.
