Early small antique egg shape cast iron polisher marked "Patent July 14 63" on top. I wasn't sure if the date was "63" or "83" so I went by my reference book that states "63". The patent date of "63" is correct. It measures only 4 1/2 inches long, so it is small in size. Good condition, smooth bottom, no breaks or repairs.The initials "NW" is for Nathan Waterman who patented this iron from Boston. You can see this only on one side of the iron. Thank you to a gentleman that s...hared a lot of information on this polishing iron. An early iron that would make a nice addition to any cast iron sad iron, polishing iron, flat iron or early hat iron antique collection.
