This old swan iron has the original mold mark on the chest, and has been a bit mistreated. The base has pits, either from the maker, or from rust at one time. The trivet left the factory with a crack in one spot. There's just no way that trivet could have been hurt from any kind of use, because nothing around it is even cracked! But they were just making kids' toys, and they really didn't care if they were perfect or not! This little iron has a 2 1/4" base front to back, iron only is 1 1/2" high, and 1 3/8" at the widest. It is shown in Politzers' first book as fig. 27A. The trivet came with it, and will stay with it. This little iron was probably made in the 1920's from the feel of the iron. Remember to look for the mold mark on the swans' chest, to see if it is old or just a trashy reproduction. Questions, email me. Always glad to combine like items to save some postage, but PLEASE let me know. GUARANTEED OLD AND AUTHENTIC!
