- Warning: This item contains asbestos - do not handle. Small metal clothes iron made up of three parts: a base plate with ventilation holes, a solid metal iron that would be heated, and a metal hood with a wooden handle and a spring-loaded lever that latches on to the solid iron. The iron has “ASBESTOS SAD IRON” molded throughout the top. Asbestos Sad Irons were produced from the late 1800s until electric steam irons gained popularity. The sold metal iron would be heated over a fire or stove and then picked up by placing the hood over it - the hood was lined with asbestos and also provided a small air pocket between the hot metal and the handle, making it slightly cooler and easier to handle.
