Best Answer

A sad iron is a clothes iron that is heated on a hearth or stove. It was used in pre-electric times for pressing clothing. "Sad" is an old term that means heavy. Earlier sad irons were all one piece by after 1871 a model was patented that used a removable handle so several irons could be heating at once without having to deal with a hot handle. The irons were simply placed on top of the wood stove or on a sheet of clean metal over coals in the fireplace to heat when one needed to iron.

What is a hatters iron?

A hatters iron is an iron designed for use in pressing felt or fur or in the construction of a traditional mens hat. They came in several sizes and weights for specific jobs. A "SAD" iron that you may come across with a curve on one side of the iron is for pressing the brim flat to a brim flange and having the side of the iron flush with the crown of the hat. They were more popular in use until the fifties when a change of production style halted the need for most irons. Now a resurgence of traditional and custom hatter find them indispensable as a lot of them were scrapped for the war effort.
