All,
   Does anyone have any references to 17th century hollow flat irons?
Ours has a hollow body with a door on the back that swings open to put in
hot coals (I assume).  If you have David Crossley's book "Post-Medieval
Archaeology in Britain"  page 184, illustration 1 (figure 7.19), shows
what we have.  Ours is twice the size, however.  This is the only
reference I can find on this, so any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.
