Mutsen strijkijzer / plooibout / glansijzer (1850-1900) - Working tool

With this beautiful tool, the hats were shaped.
It is a hat iron but was also called a pleating iron or gloss iron.
A type of model can also be seen at the Zuiderzee Museum.
The internal stone was heated on the stove and then placed in the iron.
There is a crack in the wooden steel, and a piece is missing, see photo 11.
These irons rarely appear on the market.
Engraved in copper: P.M.

This lot has been carefully cleaned and will be carefully packed, shipped via registered mail with insurance, and includes a Track & Trace code so you can follow the shipment. Pickup in Ridderkerk - Zuid Holland is also possible. I have delicious hand-ground coffee.
