There are an endless variety of this style flat or sad iron both American and International. They were made worldwide. Some were very plain and utilitarian, and we call those bookends or doorstops. Others were very fancy and intricate with a lot of design considerations. They are listed on their respective pages.
It is fun to find one with a new logo or name on them. Or perhaps even one with your name on it.
No collection could ever get them all (although several collectors have made valiant efforts), and different ones appear all the time. The thing about these irons is that they have been in collections for years. They are not commonly found these days. You can not go out and just buy most of these anymore at the local venues. This is the source, and they are priced to sell.
Most are 5 -7" long and weigh 4-7 lbs each.
A note on shipping: I ship most irons in Flat Rate Priority Mail boxes. There are two sizes of these boxes available now. One, two, even three or four irons can fit in the new larger flat rate box making shipping quite reasonable.

Different Antique
Sadirons Marked "KO"
These two irons are somewhat different from each other
in shape and size, but they are both marked with the letter "K" and the
letter "O" at the back end, so were obviously from the same manufacturer.
I believe they are English from the quality of the work and the style, but I
don't know for sure. The number 17 has a contoured stepped base design
while the number 19 is more squared off. The bottoms of both are
rounded at the heel for polishing. Both are extremely well made and
finely cast.
