Actually found this two days ago in a local field, but it's been hanging in my electrolysis tank since.

Cool iron in more ways than one.

It's from the Dover Manufacturing Company established by the Norwegians Charles T. Johnson-Vea and Ole Tverdahl in Stoughton, Wisconsin in 1893. The innovation for an asbestos layer and an air pocket to keep the handle cool came a few years later and was ultimately patented in 1900. This ad from 1906:
