Interesting Pre- WW2 Find

Today I found a "chinese silk iron" at a goodwill store for $1.50. It had an antique store tag on it for $7.50. It's missing the handle, needs some polish, but is the same exact design as this one-


I think it's some mix of brass, etc. Will polish it up and post a pic. You'd fill the "bowl" with hot charcoal...
