Antique Tailor's Iron2 European Removable Handle Primitive Tailors Irons    I suppose the idea was to be able to move to the next body with your handle after the first cooled off.  That makes sense, except you hardly ever see these without their handle, unlike all the typical smaller sad irons with no handles that are floating around.  These are European, and if you stop and think about it, there are very few American tailors irons with removable handles.  Just off hand only the Sensible comes to mind.  Very nice!!

Antique Tailor's Iron2 Spade Shape Primitive Tailors Irons    These are both about 12-15 lbs.  Most tailor irons are not spade shaped although all the major makers did make them, they are just much harder to find. One is marked with a large A the other is just heavy.  Very graphic!!
