Irony

  It's like goldy or silvery, but made of iron.  

  This is a crafted piece of domestic history I found at an antique place last month.  It's little hot plate to put an iron onto for cooling off.   The store owner was about 80 years old and the store itself is several gigantic warehouses full of old stuff on his farm property.  There are no price tags and the owner charges whatever he feels like.                                                     

 The irony of me buying this might be that I never iron in real life. I also have a mother who irons everything.  When one of my kids was small and visiting their grandmother who was ironing, they asked why she was pressing down on clothes with that thing.
