Antique Soldering Iron on Black by YoPedro
This old soldering iron is a very scary looking tool. You had to heat these irons with an open flame, and they were quite awkward to use. This one is actually a bit heavy, it has a bit of heft to it, so it could be used as a weapon if you needed it!
Tools like this one have had a long life, and if they're history was told, it might be interesting to learn who had it, and just where it had been.
Some tools are just cool to look at and hold. -YoPedro

I'm trying to explain to myself what it is that so appeals to me in this simple object in a simple environment. Many things, I suppose. The interest of the object itself and the effects of aging on it and your beautiful use of light, shadow, and texture - to name just a few. This is a pod choice for me today in the Best of Minimalism group.
