Add a touch of authentic rustic history to your home with this antique cast iron sad iron. Weighing in at exactly 3 lbs and measuring 5" x 3.25" x 4.5", this is a highly desirable "Size No. 3" miniature flat iron. Historically, these smaller, lighter irons were prized by 19th-century homemakers and laundresses for pressing intricate lace, collars, sleeves, and delicate children's clothing.

This piece features a solid cast iron body and handle, boasting a beautiful, untouched primitive patina with natural surface rust that highlights its age and historic character.

Perfect for collectors of antique laundry memorabilia, primitive farmhouse decor, or to use functionally as a heavy-duty vintage paperweight or rustic bookend.
