Antique slug iron made of solid cast iron with a wooden handle

Antique slug iron made of solid cast iron with a wooden handle. This type of iron has a metal slab, known as a "slug", which is heated in the fire and inserted into the base. These irons were popular since it was easier to keep the ironing surface clean, away from the fuel, than with flatirons or charcoal irons. This piece comes without a slug and is in fair condition with signs of aging and usage that are representative of its age. The photographs are a part of the description.
