Flat irons were also called sad irons or smoothing irons. Metal handles had to be gripped in a pad or thick rag. Some irons had cool wooden handles and in 1870 a detachable handle was patented in the US. This stayed cool while the metal bases were heated and the idea was widely imitated. (See these irons from Central Europe.) Cool handles stayed even cooler in "asbestos sad irons". The sad in sad iron (or sadiron) is an old word for solid, and in some contexts this name suggests something bigger and heavier than a flat iron. Goose or tailor's goose was another iron name, and this came from the goose-neck curve in some handles. In Scotland people spoke of gusing (goosing) irons. Here is a great gift idea that shows you took the time to care about that special person in your life. It is classic and vintage and we even gift wrap it for you . Whether it is a memory from their past or something that reminds you of how special they are, it is a unique idea because it is vintage and not something you can buy everyday. And while you are shopping for someone else, take a peek at some pieces you like because we carry men’s and women’s jewelry and a lot of neat old collectibles. And we all know you can never have enough jewelry! The pieces we carry are unique and interesting and may have a little wear ( if any) but they sure have a lot of love that came with them when they were first purchased way back when. All jewelry is boxed for gift giving. Just say the word and we will wrap it and put a beautiful bow on it for you at no extra charge . All you have to do it watch them smile and enjoy their special gift. ∆ Maker: hallmark is not legible ∆ Material: 800 silver ∆ Size: see photo 1 1/4" long, chain ( not sterling( 16") ∆ Condition: very good ∆ Lovely patina!
