This very old Scottish Box Iron (AKA Sad Iron) is in greatantique condition with a beautiful old patina to the metal, an elegant design, all hardware intact, and includes a rare original brass base that was obviously made specifically for this iron! The iron measures 6\" in height, 6.5\" in length, 3.5\" in width, and weighs 5 lbs. The brass base (or stand) measures 10.25\" in length, 1.75\" in height, 3.75\" in width, and weighs 1 lb. Although the piece has some expected signs of age,it’s in remarkable condition.The body of the iron is steel or some other \"white\" colored metal, and contrasts beautifully with the mellow brass and warm wood of the handle. All of the moving parts work just fine. Theinside of the iron has an unusual build-up of rust that leads us to believe that there was moisture in there for some time. There are products that remove rust easily but we\'re leaving this iron as found since we don\'t know whether that evidence of use is desirable to the new owner or not. The piece does not come with aslug, though no doubt it originally used one. A great piece for the advanced collector, the savvy novice collector… or for that particularly wrinkly shirt collar that you just can’tkeep down!
For the sake of accuracy, there are a couple of paint marks on the handle... nothing that couldn\'t be easily removed by the new owner but we always sell items just as found in case the new owner might appreciate these signs of a life well lived.

Please Take a Moment to Read About Our Shipping Policies:
U.S.Buyers: Please understand thatour handling cost includesinsurance. Thus shipping on highervalue items may seem high. Rest assured that weNEVER mark up shipping costs of any kind- we just pass along whatever we have to pay on your behalf. Allbasic shipping materials are provided at our expense as a courtesy.On rare occasion, if your item is particularly fragile or valuablewe mayneed to pass along the actual cost of special packing materials we purchase just for your item. We typically offer you at least 2 shipping options: Priority Mail for fastest, safest shipment and Parcel Post for slower cheaper service. Make sure to choose the option that suits you best. In some cases there is little to no difference in cost between the two services in which case it only makes sense to use Priority Mail. Certain large or unusually shaped items require special packaging by a professional. In this case we must pass along the packing fees to you, but we still never mark up these services. In the unlikely event that we ever accidentally overcharge youwe will automatically refund your overpayment via PayPal provided theovercharge exceeds$3.00.
International Buyers: are welcome. Please understand that we use \'s Global Shipping Program for all shipments outside of the U.S. Therefore we are unable to make any changes to shipping arrangements once the sale ends.Since sets the cost for shipping, you\'ll need to deal with them directly with any inquiries about shipping. As sellers, we don\'t evenknow what they\'re charging you. The shipping fee you pay us only covers the cost of shipment to\'s shipping center in Kentucky, USA. We do not fill out customs documents, select carriers, determine shipping times, etc.
Your items are important to us, so we are very careful in our packing and use the best materials and take our time to make certain that it arrives in the condition in which it left here! We normally ship smaller items to \'s shipping center using Priority Mail. Packages larger than 12\" in any dimension usually ship via Parcel Post to save you money. All of our shipping cost include full ensurance within the U.S. In many cases, only partial ensurance is available to countries outside of the U.S. We will always purchase the maximum available on your behalf. We\'ll purchase \'s ShipCover for you only when necessary.It is important that you understand that ShipCover ironically doesn\'t cover the cost of shipping, so in the unlikely event of loss or damage, you, the buyer will forfeit that cost. Hopefully will fix this problem in the future but for now, your offer constitutes your acceptance of these terms.
Returns: We will accept returns within fourteen days of your receipt of the item only if the item is materially misrepresented. All returns are made at the buyer\'s expense.
