Primitive Iron Goffer / Goffering Irons These
are an interesting group of three early clamp-on goffer irons.
This style goffering iron is much earlier than those typically found and for
the most part are smithy-made. Note the bottom one is a folding model which
is very unusual and seldom found. The
variations seen here give just a small sampling of the many combinations
this style goffering iron can be found.

Slicken Stone
Irons This style of primitive
iron originates from Scandinavia. These are made of glass, but I
assume they used stones before they figured out the process of blowing glass and hence the
name. I do not know much about the culture or customs there, but every
time I see one of these I wonder if the Vikings were having their outfits
pressed before they went off on one of their adventures, or did the fellows who
stayed behind wear different outfits during their day to day lives.
Inquiring minds want to know.
Some came with handles, some did not as pictured here.
They can be found in different colors as well, and are sometimes confused with
sock darners. There are also contemporary ones being made, but these are
the real deal.
