Very Good ........ $395.00
SOLD!
Patented Chalfant Mfg. Co. Gas Jet Heated "Toilet" Iron This small iron was patented by L. Wilkinson on January 3, 1871 and produced by the Chalfant Mfg. Co. of Philadelphia. Measuring just 3" long it was marketed as both a toy and a toilet sad iron which could be heated in just 3 minutes on a gas jet and used when traveling or at home for those quick touch-ups in the dressing room. Note the hollow body and the front and rear openings. With most of the original nickel plating remaining and the patent date clearly stamped in the side, I guarantee you will love the condition of this example! Excellent ..... $195.00 SOLD
The Pearl Wood Handled Iron

favorite of collectors and features a non-detachable wooden handle and
decorative black japanned top on a nickel plated base. This classic is the 3
3/4" version and it's condition is...........

Child-Size
/ Miniature Geneva Rocker Fluter
The
full-size version of this fluting iron is probably the most frequently found of
all fluters. But change your tune on this one, because it is the little
one, with a base that measures just 2" x 3 1/2" and standing barely 2
1/4" tall. This child-size version has to be one of the least
frequently found of all little irons and it always tops the want list of brand
new and long-time collectors alike. This is only the second example
of this miniature fluter I have ever owned, and it couldn't be in finer
condition. It is guaranteed to be old and genuine and certain to be one
of the highlights of your iron collection.

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 of the double pointed irons
measuring 3 1/2" in length. The spring loaded latching mechanism
makes a tight and secure hold to the base, which is indented to receive the
handle. There is a tiny split in the wood, but it is minor. About
50% of the nickel plating remains on the base. Very

SOLD
Stevens "Our Pet" Child Size Iron This is an example of another beautifully crafted iron by J & E Stevens Co. of Cromwell, Connecticut, a company well-regarded for their mechanical banks and other cast iron toys. This delightful antique toy iron is aptly named "Our Pet", and it exhibits the exceptionally high quality of workmanship that has come to be associated with the Stevens name. The casting of this 3 1/2" iron is superb with the bottom of the base being incredibly smooth and finely finished, and the lettering on top is distinct. The thin sole, the grace of the handle posts, and the form of the wooden grip are perfectly balanced and delicate in design. This iron is in very nice condition with lots of original black japanning on the base and a smooth rich patina to the wood. Handle is stamped with the words "Pat Apd For". It is guaranteed old and original and guaranteed to please! Excellent.......$175.00 SOLD
Sensible No. 6 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.................$125.00
SOLD
Streeter's Sensible No. 6 Detachable
Handle Child's 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.

Rare
Stevens Child Size 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.

Engraved Amazoc 1 3/4" Iron
Even though these irons are from
Mexico, they are the hand work of the finest craftsman, and not to be
confused with the cheap reproductions of common sadirons that have recently
come from that country. These highly engraved, finely crafted hard steel
decorative irons come from the Puebla area of central Mexico, which is noted
for its beautiful and artistic metalwork including that of the highly
regarded Mexican bit, spur, gun and knife makers of the past decades. This
example measures 1 3/4" long and has the characteristic thin base and
delicate engraving. It also exhibits the circle of tiny dots around the
handle sockets where a punch was used to tighten the bond between the base
of the little iron and the decorative handle.

Strap
Handle
Child-Size Iron This antique iron is the very iron that was
photographed in Figure 106 of Judy Politizer's Early Tuesday Morning
book, and it has been in the same collection ever since. Opportunities
like this to own a piece of history are few and far between. Measuring
in at just under 3.5 inches it was constructed with a one-piece bent strap
handle and a nicely defined stepped base.

Hollow
Grip Little Iron Marked "A" I guess the idea here with the marking was to
think outside the box, and if number "1" was already taken then go with the
letter "A". This hollow grip iron has a rounded toe, a nice thick
base, and measures about 2 7/8 inches long. The letter A is nicely
defined. (sim TC 150)

Little
Spade Iron Embossed with a Flower This little antique flatiron is really charming
with a flower embossed on the base that looks like a rose or perhaps a
camellia. It measures 3 1/4 inches long and has an early pounded
rolled hollow grip handle.

Two
Very Tiny Curled Handle Irons with Trivets There are a multitude of variations to be found
in this style of iron, but the little ones like this are especially hard to

Little
Iron Embossed with 6 Point Star This is one of the sweetest little irons I have
ever seen! There is a nicely cast 6 pointed star embossed on the base
that is very graphic and ornamental. The little rod handle with square
collars at the sockets is a nice design feature as well. The iron has
a slightly rounded front and measures only 2.5 inches long.

Beautiful
Ridged Tri-Bump Handle Iron This little tri-bump iron is a classic!
The iron is beautifully
cast, very delicate and sharply defined, with an extremely smooth surface
and excellent patina. All three "bumps" have swirled ridges cast into
the design, making for a really attractive look. It is complete with matching cathedral design
trivet. The little iron measures about 3.25 inches long.

Kenrick
Child-Size Iron The iron is marked M OR as well as Kenrick and
the layout of the letters on the body of this
very nice iron is interesting. It is English and by the foremost maker
of irons and other cast iron from that country. It measures 4 1/2"
long and has a rolled strap handle. A nice piece.
