A wonderfully utilitarian vintage cast iron piece featuring a substantial rectangular base and a smooth wooden carrying handle. Originally designed as a resting stand for a hot flat or sad iron, it has the kind of simple, hardworking form that makes old household tools so appealing today.
The dark aged iron, touches of surface rust, and worn wood handle give it plenty of authentic character. It would make a great primitive kitchen or laundry-room accent, or an interesting addition to a collection of early household pieces.
