Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! I had to get ahold of the Smithsonian Institution for the answer, when a friend gifted me with this, several years ago. How did you know?

I didnt know it truly was a guess.. I could see the inside looked to be melted. It takes alot of heat to melt metal. So from that I thought ...heat....coals...iron? Makes me feel good that I got that right because in an early post today you had to find the man in a bunch of coffee beans, it took me about 10 minutes and you should be able to find him in less than a minute or your brain doesnt work. My brain I guess is just geared for sewing not finding a man!...LOL

it is cald a pan iron from the 19 centry

Priceless. Hang on to it.

OK, did I miss it somehow? Where did this originate? What a unique thing to have just to look at and maybe appreciate our Rowentas more, even if they leak.

Thats a really interesting tool...I bet fairly rare too.

I'd hate to say my first thought!! I have no idea.

In todays world it is a chocolet kiss holder

Same premise as the old english bed warmer, but without the lid...(iron)must be a wonderful collector's item. Lucky you.
