Original Antique Charcoal Iron

Original Antique Charcoal Iron (NOT replica)

This piece of antique belongs to my family, found it when moving out of our old house few years ago.  I estimated it to be near to 100 years old from the age of deceased relatives, it is definitely not a replica as the trade mark label of Lian Hoe Foundry with a Crown depicting Colonial time can still be seen on the iron.

The metal could be a mixture of  brass and some other metal but I am not sure whether it has bronze in it (definitely not made of iron as I tested it with a magnet).  I am now moving out of my apartment and do not want to bring it with me. 

This auction is open to buyer located in Singapore only.  Cash Term.

Winner must come to Bukit Batok MRT station for collection and pay cash.

Buyer must collect item within 3 days after auction close, otherwise I reserve the right to cancel your winning bid.

For Info. only: A similar piece selling on the internet cost US$899 http://atlantaantiquegallery.com/i-141722-brass-charcoal-iron-by-kian-kee-co.html (my piece is an antique by the look of it and is proof of history therefore mine does not look so new like this one)
