Antique Taylor Forbes Sad Iron No. 6 – Primitive Cast Iron Tailor's Clothes Iron

Add a beautiful piece of early Canadian manufacturing history to your collection with this primitive antique sad iron. This charming tailor's clothes iron appears to be made by Taylor Forbes of Guelph, Ontario, a well-known and respected Canadian manufacturer of cast iron goods.

The body is marked with the number 6 inside a diamond-shaped marking, adding to the appeal and collectibility of this unusual piece. It features a lovely form with excellent proportions and a beautifully detailed diamond-patterned knurled handle that sets it apart from more common examples.

Measuring approximately 5½ inches long by 3½ inches wide, this compact cast iron iron displays wonderfully and has the authentic character collectors look for in primitive household tools. 

Originally used by tailors and households for pressing clothing, today this piece makes a fantastic display item for collectors of antique irons, early Canadian tools, farmhouse décor, or primitive collections.

Whether displayed on a shelf, in a country kitchen, on a mantel, or alongside other antique laundry pieces, this Taylor Forbes sad iron is a wonderful example of the craftsmanship and attention to detail found in early cast iron manufacturing.

A beautiful and unusual addition for any serious iron collector or anyone who appreciates authentic primitive décor with history behind it.
