Charcoal Heated Iron
with Unusual Latch
There are no markings to indicate the origins of this
iron but it has an interesting design to the front latch. It is also a
bit smaller in size from most of this style. The red paint on the
wooden handle grip and the gold paint on the handle support and latch give
every indication of being original. It would benefit greatly from a
good cleaning.

tilted and looks neat. Click

Gemo
Danish Charcoal Heated Iron
The name of this antique iron sounded English to me, and the handle is in the
style used by early German iron manufacturers, but I've read that this was a
Danish company, so I don't really know. In any
case this iron is curious because on the one hand it looks very "20th Century
Modern" in shape. On the other hand, who in modern times would
still be using a charcoal iron? Obviously an iron that was leading the
transition into the new era. The triangular chimney is so stylish!

English
Lyng Charcoal Iron
Although this is more in the style of American charcoal
irons it was manufactured by an English foundry by the name of Cross, who
trademarked the iron "Lyng".
The casting is of a really nice quality. The brass heat shield is
impressed with the manufacturer's info and the visual form of the chimney
and the damper door are second-to-none. Clean it up and show it off!

Charcoal Iron
I'm not sure where this iron originates from. It has a nice heat
shield, and there is a large #3 cast into the top. The draft on the
tail end is different This iron just needs a cleaning or coat of gloss to
make it look great.

Iron with a "G" Logo
The G on the handle was the trademark of the Grossag Co., a German firm.
This is a good looking iron in very nice original condition and will clean
up to be even better.

Iron with Chimney
This charcoal iron has a chimney that points in the
direction that could spell disaster for the left handed ironer! It has
a rear lever to unlatch the top, and an embossed heat shield to protect the
fingers.

Charcoal
Iron with Figural Latch
I don't know why the chicken was such a popular figure
to use for the latch of European charcoal irons, but there are lots of
different variations of the theme, and this one is in real nice condition
too.

Portuguese
Split Stack Charcoal Iron
As far as I know, these charcoal irons that originate from
Portugal were the only ones that utilized this "split stack" design.
The condition of this one is pretty rough, but the style is very
unique! Click for Pic
