Sad Iron / Pressing Iron HeaterStove Pipe Warming Trivet / Mitten Warmer  This is one of many designs of these "stove pipe" trivets are were produced.  They were multi-function tools---you could use them to dry out wet mittens or stockings, let your bread dough rise, etc.

This woven wireware example is a manufactured and patented piece, and I have seen the patent model for it.  Others were made of cast iron and some have names cast into them like "Woman's Friend",  "Adams" or others.  There was also a version with 5 or so round trivets that fold up and down, and one that had square or rectangular plates that swing in or out.  Those are cast models, but this is the only wireware one I am aware of.  It is very simple, and yet very  beautifully made.  Special!!!

Sad Iron / Pressing Iron Heater Patented Cast Iron Stove Trivet / Mitten Warmer  This is a neat piece.  It has 4 cast iron plates that can swing in and out as they are attached to the stove pipe above your wood burning stove.  As shown, the top plates would be hugging the pipe, while the bottom set are swung out to give a different effect.  There is a small bracket at the bottom and there are two stops to keep the shelves at any desired height on the steel rod.  There is no bracket or attachment at the top and one will be needed if this is to be used.  In the past this is the way I have seen all of these, and I suppose you have to come up with an idea to wire or hold the top in place if you want to set it up and use it as intended.

Sad Iron / Pressing Iron HeaterDouble Stove Top Iron Heater   Note that is is not the typical Monitor sad iron heater, where the irons both go in from the same side.  This design looks like a great idea, and different from the norm in that the irons would be inserted from each side.  It is a rare variation and no wonder if you think about it on top of the large 6 burner stove in the kitchen or laundry room.  Was the user really supposed to walk around to the other side to get the other iron?  Was that even possible?  I suppose it worked for some situations.  Limited applications meant limited appeal, makes for a pretty rare piece for today's collectors.
