Hard-to-Find
5" Swan Iron The 5" swan
iron is always a favorite of not just iron collectors but anyone who appreciates
the beauty and rarity of figural cast iron antiques. Authentic 5" swans
don't come up for sale very often---there are oftentimes reproductions of these
irons offered up on ebay and elsewhere on the Internet, but there is no comparison
between those repops and an original. This example is guaranteed old and
authentic. As with many of the early ones, this swan suffered the all-too-common
fate of a broken beak somewhere in its past. Our consignor had it professionally
restored a number of years ago, and the repair is barely noticeable unless pointed
out.

The 5" Figural Swan Iron The 5" swan iron is always a favorite not just of iron collectors, but of anyone who appreciates the beauty and rarity of figural cast iron antiques. Authentic 5" swans don't come up for sale very often---reproductions of these irons are offered up on Ebay and elsewhere, but there is no comparison between those repops and an original. This example is guaranteed old and authentic.
And it is in super condition! That is original gold wash finish you are seeing here. And note the strong detailing in the casting of the feathers, the eyes, the tail, etc. Many times these large swan irons are found with the beaks having been broken off and / or repaired. The beak on this bird is 100% right.
These 5" swans are very graphic in appearance, and very appealing. Highly recommend!

Most collectors of child-size irons are aware that the little swan irons have
been widely reproduced. These two swan irons are guaranteed old and original.
They have the sure sign of authenticity---the "runner" or flattened bump on

detailing and nice smooth bottoms. These beautiful little swan irons measure
2.5 inches and 2.75 inches and are complete with their matching little trivets.

Swan Iron with Original Paint Here's an antique Swan iron that is sure
to stand out amongst the rest of the flock! It is so rare to find swans
with traces of their original paint. On this 2 3/4" example not only is

With good detail in the feathers and face, and with the well-defined break mark
on the chest, there is no doubt as to it's authenticity and its age. You're
guaranteed to fall in love with this one!

1/4" Swan Iron on Trivet One of the best-loved styles of little irons, the Swan iron was made in many
sizes and variations, and collecting all of the different ones can be a lot
of fun. Although the swan has been reproduced, it is not difficult to
distinguish the old from the new. This example exhibits the characteristic
sign of authenticity---the mold break mark on the chest. It also exhibits
nicely detailed feathers and clearly delineated eye and beak markings.
Sitting on a matching trivet it is ready to join the rest of the flock!
