That's pretty cool! :cool: Never seen one like that before. :thumbs-up:
Thanks bud 😎👍. I thought it pretty cool as well. I neglected to mention I also purchased, that day, a very small version of that Coal Hot Iron and it's a pencil sharpener (see pix above). I thought; "What are the odds?" I just started laughing and had to have it to go with the large version. It's on the fireplace mantel. 😁
 
I would like to find this antique "mouse trap".

Confession, I like to shop for Antiques. Don't purchase a lot because I don't want my house to become an Antique shop. I like lookin' at relics from the past. I have a cast iron Hot Iron I use for a door stop and needed another one. About a month ago I went shopping and found another Hot Iron I wanted for that other door stop. I also found another Hot Iron I thought was very cool. A Coal Hot Iron. No, I don't collect Hot Irons 😂. Put hot coals in the back, close the door, allow some heating time and you're ready. Have you ever seen a Hot Iron with an exhaust vent in the front? I like cast iron objects. To me, they're just cool. For me to purchase an Antique it needs to really grab my attension and then there's the price. If it doesn't seem to be a fair price I won't purchase. The coal Iron won't be used as a door stop. I'll display it near the fireplace as a conversation piece. Just thought this iron very interesting. I've never seen a coal Hot Iron before.

I have a few of them.

Of the Coal Hot Irons? If so that is cool. I've never seen one until that day I purchased that one.

My dad had a gasoline fueled iron that belonged to his mother... not sure where it went after he died, but he used to chuckle about seeing his mom toss it out in the yard when it had a fuel leak and burst into flames while she was using it.

Times change....
Isn't that crazy? Wow.

Not coal but alcohol and some stove top heated ones. I'll see if I've got photos but probably not.

Edit: can't find a photo on my phone but it looks exactly like this one I found on the internet.

It uses Shellite (gasoline) fuel. I tested it once and it worked

My others are similar to these basic Irons.

Have a couple like this and a few tiny ones. Supposed to be bed warmers or something? Lol!
We'll put them up on the wood stove... when that goes back in.

Those are siiiiick bro!! 🤩🤙

Tossing together a fairly subpar “Buffet Cabinet” for our kitchen.. I don’t like a bunch of shiit hoarding real estate on the counters, so this will add some workspace, as well as a bit of storage.. Hand drivin’ and diggin’ on some classic rock.. Oh-and by classic rock; I mean from the 60’s, and 70’s… Now that Metallica & Nickelback apparently qualify as “Classic rock”, I feel the need to clarify.. 😅🤷🏻‍♂️

Facts sir! I was proofing my post (AFTER, as usual, because I’m super intelligent 🤣), and it occurred to me that I not only AM old af, but I actually SOUND like it too now… Super..🤷🏻‍♂️😅

Your in good company, as they say, we got to see all the good bands. :)
 
I've missed a couple I would have liked to have seen, but I'll settle for seeing most of the good bands. ;)
Same this way.. I got to see a lot that I can’t believe I did… DRI was absolutely one from that category.. Sepultura… Antiseen.. Corrosion of Conformity.. I’d be willing to bet you’ve been to far more than I, but likely have heard of every one of mine as well..🤘
 
That’s a fact! Well alllllllmost…. I’ve missed Clutch at LEAST half a dozen times from less than 500ft away…☹️😂
A shogun named Marcus was here!
F'ng AWESOME band!
I think I actually wore the laminant off the 'Droid' un-named disc.
Space-grass. 😎🤣
