What a find!. This old charcoal iron is in great shape. It was used in the early to mid 1800s. Pop tells me that they would fill the bottom of this iron with hot charcoals and then place it back in the fire to keep it hot. I cnat help but wonder how many people have used this iron over the years. The wooden handle has no splits And the lever that opens the iron still works.

I opened it to see what it looks like inside and i have to say its in excellent condition, very clean. There is a metal plate under the handle used to pervent you from getting burned on this plate there is a design. with a castle in the center and a dragon under it. on each side there is a letter U C. On the iron itself the number 6 1/2. ( may be they came in difrent sizes, not sure. On the back of the iron there is a little trap door to empty ashes. On this door it reads MONDRAOON U C. I love this peice and think it would be an awesome conversation peice.
