Oh boy it sure could have been bad if I'd used this very old iron on a project without testing it on some scraps first. Good thing I definitely didn't do that.
That would be especially embarrassing since I'm always telling people to do samples of everything. Haha yes it sure would not be great if, hypothetically, one of the raw edges inside my purple jacket was in fact.. well cooked.
(225 °C = 437 °F, and by comparison the hottest setting on my modern iron read 160 °C/320 °F)

I've had these for months and I've been ??? about what they are, but then I thought of you! You know things about old sewing! And you have followers who also know things about sewing and might know things!
So I found two of these in my grandma's sewing things that I inherited. They're approximately football shaped when viewed from the bottom, with removeable handles. One side of the bottom tapers upwards. I thought maybe they were vintage travel irons? But I don't see any evidence of heat being applied on the bottoms. Maybe they were lightly used? Or are pattern weights?

Help? At the very least I'd like to get the uncertainty out of my head
Oh it's so cute! It looks just like a tiny version of the antique iron I have, only much cleaner and shinier. I've never seen one that small, but the detachable handle makes me think that it is actually meant to be an iron. They have those so that you can leave the bottom on the stove to heat up, and then you won't burn yourself on the handle, because it stays away from the heat until you click it back into place to pick the iron up. I figure that wouldn't be necessary if it was just a novelty pattern weight.
Maybe someone who sees this post will know more! I know mini irons exist today, so maybe they have been along for much longer than I'd assumed.

Metal Diving Suit Developed FITTED with ball bearing knuckle joints, which provide mobility for the wearer, a new all-metal diving suit is said to enable a diver to descend to a depth of 1,200 feet. The suit eliminates the need for air lines, having a specially designed built-in air tank. Hand- operated grappling irons are a feature of the suit.

Who is a Hellsing character you first disliked, but then grew to like?
To my own surprise - Sir Islands/Irons.
I first thought him one bitter old man, just being mean and nothing else - but when I grew older, I understood where he was coming from, and why he was the way he was, really learning to respect him.

Li riconosci subito quelli che hanno avuto un vero dolore e non perché sono più stronzi, non perché hanno la scorza più dura: io non li sopporto quelli che con la scusa del dolore diventano più cattivi.
No, il vero tratto distintivo di chi ha sofferto per davvero è che, in fondo, è: gentile.
C’è come un velo di clemenza sopra tutti i gesti, chi ha sofferto davvero non infierisce mai, non calpesta, sta attento a tutto, osserva, se può evita di ferire e se non può preferisce ferire sé stesso; la voce gli si colora di un soffio mite di calore, non urla più e se lo fa, lo fa solo contro il vento. Chi ha sofferto davvero è diverso perché è disarmato, esce senza la pistola, sorride leggero, scherza tutto il tempo, non fa sempre a gara, chiede scusa, cammina in punta di piedi.
E ride, ride un sacco, più di chiunque altro.

Integra: He's pretty smart, maybe he just put 2 and 2 together?
Alucard: 4!
Integra, sighing: That wasn't a test...
Alucard: Yes it was, I won. A+
Rest of the table: *insert sound of crickets*
