Details: Geneva cast iron sad iron Approx. 5" L × 3" W Weight: 2.18 lbs (986.8 g) Original "GENEVA" marked handle Solid cast iron construction Cleaned and lightly oiled for preservation Original patina and casting texture retained No cracks or repairs observed Ready for display Please review all photos as they are part of the description. Era: Estimated late 1900s. *The age is my best estimate based on the "GENEVA" cast mark, the style of construction, and comparison with similar antique sad irons. There are no patent dates or identifying marks on the soleplate that would allow me to verify an exact year, so I describe it as believed to date to the late 19th century. My sister purchased it at an estate sale in the early 2000s and recently gave it to me because she's downsizing.
