Heavy Duty American Iron

What? You were thinking Harley Davidson.



Found this while digging around the foundation of the garage.



I was looking for a Driver, but all I could find was this Iron.

Growing up, we had those toe-splitters as door stops throughout the house...

Now you know why it was buried.

Lol, cool find.

You know, I didn't think there would be much responce to my iron. I was getting ready to put it back in the ground, so the next person to come along could find it.
Then when I read Stefen's responce... I really wanted to rebury it!

But I looked at some irons anyway, and found that the style is a Tailor's iron as opposed to a flat iron or sad iron (there are more), it's 10" long and ... I just weighted this bad boy. It weighs 12 lbs. It looks like there is a name on the top, but I can't make much of it out. So I'll probably hook up the 3000 watt generator to it and fill the pool with salt water, or... maybe something just a touch less severe.

WV-Detecting, your iron looks like my iron's big brother! The industrial model.

What was that you said?, cottonjim, earing? no, I don't wear an earing.

Anyway thanks for eyeballing my iron.

P.S. Nash, if you play the blues you feel the blues. I feel the blues too. Sometimes it's what you're dealt. I don't mean to get all philosophical and $#*+, but that's just the way is. Laissez les bon temps rouler.

I don't have a way of nailing down a date on it, but given it's style and the location where it was found, I don't think it would be unreasonable to say mid 1800s.
