About this work
Rectangular wafer iron, plier form; each plate features a different chased design of a basket of flowers inside a dotted border. Two, long, tapered handles, rectangular in section, the shorter one ending in a rattail loop with shaped locking ring that fits over the mushroom terminal on the other to secure closed. Both handles with arrow-shaped pads riveted to plates. No marks.
