Here is a very small sized vintage iron, measures 4 inches in length by 2 inches width, and is a two piece set. The top lifts off by twisting a knob open, and the knob is wooden, as is the handle. Underneath is written: " Dover - Made in U.S.A. Lace Iron". I would think the two parts separate, so only the bottom cast iron part would be heated on a stove to prevent the wood parts from burning, and then the top part would be in place when being used. Everything is in nice used, working condition, as intended. Can ship flat rate to save shipping charges.
