AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
The object shown in the image is an antique coal iron (or charcoal iron) with a chimney, dating roughly to the late 1800s or the early 1900s.
Structure and Material: The main body is made of heavy cast iron to retain heat for a long time. It features a boat-shaped form with a pointed tip to reach the corners of fabrics. [1, 2]
The Chimney: The curved tubular structure positioned at the rear serves as a true chimney. It was used to funnel smoke and toxic gases from the combustion upward, preventing staining of clean fabrics and protecting the person ironing from inhaling them. [1]
Insulating Handle: The handle is made of contoured wood and was designed to insulate the hands from the extreme heat released by the metal body. [1, 2]
Opening mechanism: At the front you can see a small locking knob that allowed lifting the upper lid, so that burning coal pieces could be inserted directly into the inner compartment.

A shipment with appropriate packaging will be sent promptly with tracking.
