Old Small Iron

[Corrupted]

I know what it is but I don't know what such a small iron was used for any insight?

I think they called them collar irons, used for pressing shirt collars.

Toy perhaps?

I think that is a child's iron. They were no more than three or four inches long.

Not as old obviously, but size wise, it looks close.
