OLD BRASS WOOD HANDLE STEAM HATTER\'S SAD IRON TOLLIKER? TOOL BRIM HAT MILLINERY For Sale

This sale is for what I believe is a hatters iron of some sort, but I will let you out there decide for sure. I am not into these type items, but I just bought a large collection of old irons and go alongs. This item is made of brass, and has a wooden handle. I believe this is an early steam iron, as there is a hollow stem at the end of the handle that looks as it may accept a hose, then there are a number of tiny holes on the underside of the iron blade part. It is in excellent condition, and measures approx. 14 1/4\" long overall, and the ironing part measures approx. 3 7/8\" long and 1\" wide. Unusual old item.  Please see pictures and ask questions if you have them. Payment will be made by paypal. We describe our items as accurately as possible. We do not know everything, so look at the photos as well as reading description completely. Illinois residents will add 8.25% Illinois sales tax, unless a valid Illinois resale tax number is provided. I will ship internationally and will combine shipping on multiple purchases.
