About this item
A brass and steel milliners iron in the shape of a sycamore seed. This type of iron was used for making shapes out of felt or lace as ornamentation for hats. The fabric was washed and starched and put into the brass section. The steel iron was heated and then pushed into the brass section. The fabric would then be trimmed and the result was a beautifully shaped hat decoration.
This iron is very well detailed and it is in very good condition. The only fault is a small split in the wooden handle. The iron dates from c.1880.
Overall Dimensions: Length 21cm. Width 4.8cm. Height 3.7cm.
