An authentic piece of late 19th to early 20th-century domestic laundry history. This heavy-duty, pre-electric No. 7 sad flat iron was manufactured in West Bromwich, England by the renowned George Salter & Co.

The top face features highly clear embossed markings including the classic arched "SILVESTER'S PATENT" above the iconic Staffordshire Knot pierced by an arrow trademark. The front toe is clearly stamped with the size "7". It retains a stunning, authentic old patina with a clean, smooth soleplate and minor surface oxidation consistent with a genuine antique. Equipped with the patented hollow cool-draft tubular handle designed to dissipate heat during stove top heating.

Perfect as a rustic farmhouse display piece, vintage bookend, or industrial doorstop.
