Antique 1912 Ober No. 6 Cast Iron Sad Iron with Red Handle

Before the luxury of modern electricity, households relied on solid "sad irons"—from an Old English term meaning heavy or dense. This 6-pound industrial relic was forged by the Ober Manufacturing Company in Chagrin Falls, Ohio, right at the dawn of the 20th century. Heated directly on coal ranges and wood-burning stoves, it represents a rugged era of homefront Americana.
