Antique 1912 Ober No. 6 Cast Iron Sad Iron | Rustic Red Handle 6lbs

Long before modern electric appliances, households relied on solid metal blocks called "sad irons" (from an Old English word meaning heavy or dense) [|]. Heated directly on coal ranges or wood-burning stoves, this imposing 6-pound relic was manufactured by the Ober Manufacturing Company in Chagrin Falls, Ohio [|]. It stands as a rugged, tactile monument to turn-of-the-century American grit and homefront history.
