Iron handle?

[baylorhall]

This is just the right size for my hand and I am wondering if it was maybe off of an old iron. What do you think? Thanks

I found a bunch of those things too. Don't know what they came off of.

Could be from an old trunk.

It could be from an old wash tub, as in the kind folks would take their yearly bath in. Papa would have the clean water and by the time the 12th child took his bath, the water wold be black from year old dirt being scrubed off.

That's where the phrase 'Don't throw the baby out with the bath water" came from.

I think it is from an early leather, heavy duty bag, like the kind the postal service used.
