This rare find is very interesting.. It measures just 17 long and is very old. The heavily patinated wooden ball is attached to the iron linked chain. The leather shackle works like a belt. Not the best security system. But clearly this was used. A lot. The leather shows honest wear and age. I’m thinking this is 150 years old. I believe the photographs give an accurate read.

Rare ANTIQUE TERRACOTTA Clay Pottery SAD IRON 5″ x 4 1/2″ Forged Iron Nail. This sad iron is unlike any we’ve seen before! Appears to be made from a terracotta clay colored material with brown glaze. You can see the terracotta color showing through in areas. We read that very early Sad Irons were made from Terracotta, Clay and Pottery. See a small part of an article we found online on our last photo where it mentions this. The clasp is held in place with an iron nail that has a cross cross design on its flat head. The top part that lifts, is held in by wire. It is in excellent condition for age, it appears chop free and free from cracks. There are some areas as mentioned where either the brown glaze didn’t cover or it wore off and you can see the terracotta clay color.
