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.
