I found this in my basement in the rafters... It's heavy as hell, seems to be either solid copper or brass with a added silver tip.
Twisted metal shaft(?) and a wooden handle that is red-ish in color.
To add to the weirdness, it has carvings all over it... Can someone please tell me what it might be?? Thanks!

It is a soldering iron
Wonderful !~
Great soldering iron!!! I have several.
Mr. Gowen my sheet metal shop teacher back in the 50's used to Juggle 2 of them
when they were HOT!! One day he caught the wrong end!!! His hand went into the water bucket pretty quick!!!
The end is copper. There have been quite a few of these posted on CW lately. I have one of these and it lay about the house for years before I realized how cool it was so I cleaned it up use it for a paperweight now.
