Description

Cast iron trivet for a toy iron. The trivet has a triangular shape and its two longest sides are rounded. These edges have a small lip to secure an iron in place. The rest of the trivet has six cutouts: two rows side-by-side and a third row with a single pie-shaped cutout and a small half-circle atop it. On the underside of each corner there is a tapered circular foot. Attached to the short side of the trivet is a handle with an hourglass shape. The handle has one cutout where it meets the rest and a second oval-cutout at the opposite end. The trivet has remnants of black paint.
