Primitive Teardrop / Heart Shape Iron   This is a different style iron.  Very simple and primitive looking, teardrop bordering on heart-shaped.  Think of the work involved in forming the rod and flat handle.  Different!

Round Back Antique Iron Marked "0"    Irons having this graceful teardrop shape are more often found in Europe but rarely turn up in the US, except in longtime antique iron collections.  The simple and thin bent strap handle is in great contrast to the thickness and curves of the base of the iron, and the casting of the "0" is sharp and very graphic.  This is one of those irons you just want to pick up and handle.  (TC 177[a])
