My friend was working on an old brick building in Los Angeles and found this unusual item under the flooring, looks very old. Does anyone know what this might be?
Unsure of tool use. | ||

Your item to me looks like a handle for what is called a sad iron for ironing cloths . The iron was sat on the stove to heat then the hangle was clamped on to do the ironing .
I second that. Nancy is dead on! Mystery solved!
I have a sad iron without the handle would you like to sell yours ?
Definitely a sad iron handle. Here's mine: http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/10521-sad-iron-from-late-1800s?in=user
