Antique "Slave" Bell Rattle Cast SAD/Flat Iron, Hand Forged 1850s Steel Restored

Description: Antique "Slave" Bell Cast SAD/Flat Iron, Hand Forged 1850s Steel Restored This laundry iron is often called the "Slave" or "Bell" Iron. It holds its place in history and is museum quality because they were used by slaves prior to the civil war. Metal balls were enclosed within the handle forming a rattle. It rattles when the iron moves back and forth. Enslaved people were always kept under a watchful eye by their owners. And the handle would rattle as the iron moved back and forth, making it possible for owners to monitor the enslaved men and women's work by sound. The base and handle were made of steel before the days of cast iron laundry irons. This iron was forged by a blacksmith. The base and handle were made from two pieces of steel then bonded together while the metal was hot. No two hand forged irons are the same because they were individually formed. This antique hand-forged "Slave" iron is perfect for collectors and those who appreciate primitive antique historical items.
