Description
The piece is very heavy for its size. The base is in the shape of an iron and is hollowed out in the middle. There are decorative markings on the side of the piece. The entire piece is metal including what looks to be the handle. I have been in a toss up between either a vintage minature iron or an old battleship. The toy is made out of cast iron Next to the handle there is another similar "handle" but it is much smaller.

Re: Not sure exactly what I have or what the value is
This looks like a Victorian iron , it was heated by burning charcoal inside it. Does it open?
Re: Not sure exactly what I have or what the value is
no but the middle is hollow underneath
Re: Not sure exactly what I have or what the value is
It's a late Victorian iron, no huge value, you see them all the time on Ebay. here's a link for you:

Re: Not sure exactly what I have or what the value is
Thanks for the link, I see the resemblance but some of those irons are $100, I have yet to find one exactly like mine... I just want to know if it's possibly worth some value
