Antique Box Irons / Slug Heated Irons


Decorated 
   Brass Box IronDecorated Brass Box Iron   This is a really nicely done brass box iron with lift gate door.  The engraving is well done and covers the top and edges of the iron.  The wooden handle is very well done as well.  The rear door operates as it should but there is a small difference in the "track" or guide from side to side.  This is one of the nicest decorated irons in this collection.

Antique Brass Box IronDecorated & Dated Brass Box Iron  This is a nice looking small brass box iron.  It is engraved on the side with the date of 1797 and there is other etched decoration that is very "folky" and primitive in style, but very creative with an intricate pattern of zig zag designs.  The door at the rear is missing but a very appealing iron!

Antique Box IronUnusual Iron Swing Gate Box Iron   This early iron has nicely formed uprights, and a nice design "turn key" lock on the back door.   The interesting part is that typically the door is hinged on the opposite side---this one would swing open toward rather than away from the right handed ironer.  I can't recall ever seeing another that opened in this direction.  Perhaps specially made for a left-handed person????

Antique Box IronPrimitive Iron Box Iron w/ Swing Gate   This is an early primitive European box iron.  It is a slab construction with pins and rivets holding the top to the bottom and sides.  Note the amount of work that went into hand forming the multisided handle supports.  The handle has some worm holes, but is solid and OK.  The hook and gate are nice as well and it has its original slug.
