The item you are bidding on is an Antique Clothes Iron. The iron is in good cosmetic shape with some aging and some surface rust. Nothing is bent cracked or broken. The iron is hinged on the back to open so you could put hot coals in to heat it. The handle on the Iron has a makers mark (shown in photos). All parts move smoothly on the iron. The makers mark is also on the inside of the top of the iron along with the letters and numbers GUCRLO 0-3-2. I believe this is European. Please let me know if you have any questions and I will get back to you as soon as possible.
