Iron
Swing Gate with Hook Latch Box Iron
This
primitive box iron has a very nice decorative swing hook to lock the back door.
The blacksmith / maker split the piece of iron and made a stylized curl in addition
to the hook to act as the opener / lock. A nice touch!

Unusual
Iron Swing Gate Box Iron
This early
iron has nicely formed uprights, and a nice design "turn key" lock on the back
door. The interesting part is that typically the door is hinged
on the opposite side---this one would swing open toward rather than away from
the right handed ironer. I can't recall ever seeing another that opened
in this direction. Perhaps specially made for a left-handed person????

Blacksmith
made French Box Iron W/ Split / Fan Tail Rear Handle Support
This iron is very early and has a very unusual
handle support design. It is blacksmith made and the maker recognized
the dilemma of a single post being weak or wobbly and solved the problem by
splitting the post and providing lots of handle support area with the fan tails
acting as a base or platform. Note the way he also turned and flattened the
front support as well. The swing hook on the side is very nicely done
too. The inside of the iron looks decorative, but is actually the maker's
way of increasing the heat transfer, and giving it an artistic flare with the
curly cue design you see. A nice iron!!
