Soldering iron with a wedge-shaped head at a right angle to the wrought iron shaft. The copper head was cast with a stud and domed head. An iron strap was wrapped around the stud and hammer-welded to the longer portion of the shaft. The shaft tapers to the other end and terminates at a rose head sort of finial. The shaft is bent back on itself to form an open loop handle.
