Antique Brass Fire Iron, Edo/Meiji Period, Approximately 35cm long, Diameter approximately 16.5cm, Metal part approximately 16.5cm, Weight approximately 640g. There are dents, so it is not perfectly circular. The wooden handle is damaged, with a missing tip. It was covered in dust. I removed the dust and washed it with water, but did not polish it to preserve its age. Please refer to the images for details. ●A fire iron is a traditional Japanese tool used from the Edo period to the Meiji period to smooth out wrinkles in collars and clothes by placing burning charcoal inside and using its heat and weight. It is the prototype of the modern iron. From Wikipedia The wooden part is damaged, but the brass part does not have significant corrosion. Please understand that this is an antique item and consider purchasing it. Thank you.
