Cast Iron Sad Iron
Primitive Americana, Late 19th to Early 20th Century


This antique sad iron, or flat iron, is a quintessential example of 19th-century domestic utility. Designed to be heated directly on a wood-burning stove or hearth, these heavy pressing tools were essential for household laundry before the invention of electric appliances. This piece features a solid cast handle and a prominent "5" marking on the upper surface, typically denoting its weight classification.


• Solid cast iron one-piece construction with integrated handle
• Raised "5" numeral mark on the top of the base plate
• Classic pointed-toe silhouette used for precision pressing
• Dimensions: Approximately 6" length x 5" height x 6" width (Weight: 3 lbs)


Condition: Antique condition with significant surface oxidation and a dark, rustic patina throughout. The iron is structurally sound with no cracks or breaks in the metal casting. Surface shows expected pitting, rust, and accumulated dust from age. The bottom pressing surface is heavily oxidized; this item has not been tested and is sold as a decorative primitive with no guarantees of functionality.
