Re: OLD CHACOAL IRON WITH VOC MARK

VOC is the mark of ownership of the Dutch East India Company--Vereenigde Oost-Indische Compagnie. Founded in 1602, wound up by 1800.

However you do also find it copied on items made in the east, as part of the decoration.

Id's are good here but, there is a forrum for whats it worth? somewhere on tnets site. As far as your iron goes I'm not sure but, cool looking. I am assuming that is not a dug relic?

Replica for decorative reasons. I could be wrong, but that is what it appears to be to me.

Couldn't tell you if it is a replica or not, but here is one similar.


Here is the site the picture came from. http://patented-antiques.com/Irons_Charcoal.htm You might send the folks there a picture of yours and see what they say.
