Dimensions: 5.5”L x 4.5”W x 6.25”H
Material(s): Brass body, Cast Iron slug, Wooden handle.
This Victorian brass slug iron retains its original cast iron heating slug. Before the advent of electric irons, the removable slug would be heated in a stove or hearth before being inserted into the hollow body, providing a cleaner and more efficient means of pressing garments and household linens than earlier charcoal-heated irons. This one can be distinguished by its elegantly scrolled handle and turned hardwood grip, reflecting the craftsmanship and decorative sensibilities of the Victorian era.
