English Iron Box Irons3 English Iron Box Irons  This style of iron is usually associated with England, but they were made all over the European continent.  They also came in a myriad of sizes and what we have here are 3 relatively small ones each with an original slug.  Each is in nice condition including the gates and handles.  In the smallest sizes these are particularly hard to find.

English 
	Lift Gate Box IronEnglish Lift Gate Box Iron  This is a nicely made box iron.  Note how the handles are attached to the top as if forge-welded instead of being bolted as with later models.  It has a nicely turned handle, and overall is in good condition noting the pitting.  It is about 5" long.

Lyng 
	English Spade Shape Box / Sad IronLyng English Spade Shape Box / Sad Iron   This is unmarked but I believe it is English.  It may be a Lyng, and it is similar to the American box iron known as the Salamander as well as the Brown & Foster.  The handle and the heat shield are very nice as is the rest of the iron.
