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])
