- Description
- 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.

- Black metal folding stereoscope. The rectangular frame has two square openings that allow light to pass through the image, which is inserted into tracks on the inside of the frame. Opposite the rectangular frame is a rounded frame containing two round glass lenses that also has a rounded cut-out where the nose can fit. Between the two frames is an adjustable plate, allowing the image to be moved further from or closer to the viewer in order to be brought into focus. The stereoscope folds in on itself and latches with a small gold flat-top peg that fits into a small slot on the lens frame.
