Glazing Iron


A bootmaker's glazing iron used hot after applying wax, inks or special polishes to provide a lustre to the surface of leather. The iron head is wedge shaped with a stepped down design on one end and a beak on the other side. This is attached to a cylindrical wooden handle with a metal ferrule.
