Sorry, just wanted to throw my two-cents in here, but I think Ironwood is a bit more like Tin Man than we imagine. If you rewatch Episode 2, Volume 2, when Ironwood grabs the coffee mug with his gloved hand, it made a very clear clinking sound, which is not heard when Ozpin picks it up off the table. So, possible robotic arm.

Also, very clever nod to the source material when he poured alcohol into his coffee. Looks like the Tin Man still needs a certain liquid to keep him working (oil/alcohol). The flask is Ironwood's personal oil can.
