IRON

Iron with black handle - wood.
Unable to read some lettering on plate that holds the handle.
Under the handle is a convex metal plate which is used to deflect heat from the charcoal that would be used to heat the iron.
The body is three castings which are held together with a metal screw for the centre part and the centre part is attached by two screws which also attach the handle.
There is an insulating lining, possibly asbestos, between the top and centre parts.
