Box Iron L174

Original, quality, late 19th century, laundry iron, with a drop off body and a 'Mrs Potts' style wooden clip on / off 'D' shaped handle. The main body has the original grey silver painted top surface, is embossed with "2", the handles have the original grey / silver paint to the plate and the original lacquer to the wooden handle and knob. The top plate is also embossed with "FG" within a shield logo. This iron appears unused although there is a scorch mark to the wooden handle. Originally these were supplied with two bodies and one handle and one body would be heated on the stove when the other was in use.
