William Guthman, who originally appraised this object, died in 2006. We contacted appraiser J. Michael Flanigan for an updated appraisal in today's market.
Current Appraised Value: $2,500 - $3,000 (Increased)
Flanigan goes on to note that the increase in value for this iron, which bears the Great Seal of the United States, can be attributed to a strong appetite for patriotic material, since the market for kitchen collectibles is currently weak.
