Item Details

A small, early 20th century, brass and steel milliners iron in the shape of a leaf. The steel follower is stamped with a number “4113”. Milliners irons were used for making felt or lace decorations for hats. The fabric was washed and starched and placed over the form. The steel iron was heated and this was then put over the form, and pushed in, to shape the fabric which would then be trimmed. The result was a beautiful leaf shape which would be used to decorate a hat or a lapel. This example has come from a large milliners, where they would have had many different shapes. The collar, from around the top of the turned wooden handle is missing but otherwise it is in very good condition.
