Item 1735

Sold as found.

Nice old wrought iron hearth trivet used for cooking before the advent of the home stove.  Made by a blacksmith this one features a fancy hanging hook, two fixed feet, a peened on third leg and peened axis for rotating the trivet disc.  Must have taken some talent to use as I would have been greatly concerned it would tilt over, but maybe that is just me as the peens are nowhere near as tight as they used to be a century or two ago.  A really nice primitive piece.

Unmarked

stands roughly 2” 1/2 – 3” tall.  disc diameter is about 8” 3/8, base/handle is 19” 1/4 from end to end, with just over a foot extending past the edge of the disc.

Can you imagine making your morning toast using this old frontier/hearth toaster?  Slice your bread and put the slices into the rotating end piece, sit it down near your cookfire and wait until one side was done before turning the end piece 180 degrees to toast the other side.  Pretty darn cool.  This one predates the invention of the household stove in the 1830s.  A blacksmith made piece, this probably belonged to a fairly well off family who had the wherewithal and room to own a gadget like this back at a time when most folks were toasting their bread in a skillet.

Sold unrestored in perfect working shape.   This one would be great for historical reenactment, or used as a display piece.

$225 shipping included in price.
