A wrought iron Colonial period/early 19th century swivel bread toaster for use on a hearth.  Toaster handle is made in such a way as to allow the toaster to swivel around to change toasting sides and also allows the handle to swivel at the same time allowing the person doing the toasting to hold the handle from either direction.  Toaster rack measures 14" wide x 1 1/2" wide x 4 1/2" high.  Handle extends 25" overall from hinged front to back with a wooden handle at the end and an iron hanger hole.  The toaster itself is very tight and in very good condition.  The split and spread feet are shown in a close-up below right - showing one foot has been burned down and has deterioration although the toaster still stands on what is left quite well.

Circa 1870 fireplace tool rest in decorative cast iron.  This type of tool rest was an alternative to the standing fireplace tool holder and was placed on the hearth so fireplace tools could be rested against it and were readily available to use when tending the fire.  The decorative cast iron base measures 7 5/8" x 2 3/4" and is 6 1/2" high overall.  Bar rest measures 6 1/2" wide.  Not restored - in as found finish.  Weight and standing base also lends itself to use as a door stop.

Pair of very heavy and substantial cast iron fire dogs, Colonial Revival manufactured and signed (log bar bottom row below) by the Peck, Stow, & Wilcox Co. and offered in their 1905 catalog.  Uprights measure 13 1/2" high featuring a graduated top and with an 8" spread at the feet and a 4 1/4" high arch.  The cast log bars are 12 1/2" deep.  The fire dogs are cast in two pieces - the uprights and the log bars - the two of which are bolted together.  A small wedge was to keep the logs from rolling too far forward on the bars.  Uprights show the date 1775 as a nod to the original period and in a Colonial style format.  These dogs are in very good condition and are very heavy weighing in at 13 pounds each.  Detail shown in close-ups below.   A nice pair of Revival fire dogs now over 100 years old.
