 Sad Iron Heaters / Iron Heating Stoves & Misc Sad Iron Parts

 

4 Patented Sad Iron Heaters   There were dozens if not hundreds of different versions of sad iron heaters that were patented and produced.  The two in the back row serve the double function of freeing up some space on the stove top, acting as a heater and an iron holder / stand. 

The pyramid or triangular one on the back left holds 3 irons at one time in the upright position.  It is unmarked but shows very fine casting.     BCM-151

Very Good - Excellent........$75.00

The one on the back right holds 4 sadirons in the upright position as well as one more flat on top.  It is marked with a patent date of Apr. 28, 1896 as well as "F & L Kahn & Bros. Hamilton, USA".  The side panels are steel and the base is cast.  This is one I have never seen before.    BCM-152

Very Good........$125.00   SOLD!

The heater on the left in front was manufactured by Landers, Frary & Clark of New Britain, CT.  They called this the Universal Alcohol Stove, and it is so marked on the cast trivet-type top along with the patent date of Sept. 8, 1908 and the company name.  They were manufacturers of all sorts of antique kitchenware and other household items, and I would be they promoted this heater as functioning to heat your iron, your coffee, and anything else.  It has a really neat nickel plated removable fuel font underneath the burner to hold the alcohol.  Cleaned up a bit this one will look great.     BCM-312

Good +........$55.00

The heater on the right in front was fueled by natural gas and made for a single iron to slip right in to heat.  It is marked "Daley Laundry Mach'ny Works NY".  The screws holding the top to the base have been replaced, but the heater is in good shape with no breaks or cracks in the casting, something this style heater was prone to.     BCM-153

Good........45.00     SOLD!

Stove 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!!!
