Spade Shaped Little Irons
with Numbers and Letters


Strap Handle #1 Child's Sad IronStrap Handle #1 Sad Iron   This is a nice looking iron.  These were marketed as both child's irons / toys and as lace irons, and the number was used to indicate the size or weight relative to the other irons that were offered.  From the look I assume it is English and dates from the late 19th century.  A nice example!
