"Folks Fecht" Figural Swan Advertising Irons These are later
than the rest of the swan irons but they are interesting nonetheless.
Most of these mini advertising swan irons originate from PA and were a part
of the cottage industry going on there making cast iron products for small businesses,
these commemorating a "folks festival". They are cruder than their earlier
cousins, but interesting and collectible in their own right.

irons". Because of their popularity with collectors these miniature sad
irons have been reproduced, but it is generally easy to distinguish the old
from the new by looking at the quality of the casting, the smoothness of the
bottom, and the presence (or lack of) the flattened bump on the chest where
the excess iron from the mold pouring was broken or filed off. They come
in a range of sizes with the largest 5" or so and the smallest about 1"
being the hardest to find. Original paint is also very desirable to find.
