Cast Iron Sad Iron No. 7 Primitive c.1880s

Bring a piece of 19th-century domestic history into your collection with this antique No. 7 cast iron sad iron, manufactured in the United States circa 1880–1910. Before electric irons became common, these solid cast iron pressing irons were heated directly on a stove and rotated through household laundry tasks to maintain consistent heat. This example features a classic pointed soleplate with a removable wooden-style grip assembly (metal handle shown) and retains an attractive aged patina that reflects decades of honest use. Whether displayed in a farmhouse, primitive, or industrial décor setting, or added to a collection of antique laundry and household tools, this substantial sad iron offers authentic historic character. Good antique condition with surface rust, oxidation, and wear consistent with age and use.
