With housewives tired of coal dust and the advent of oil-fired boilers and furnaces, it's a wonder any survived. A lot of them got tossed at the dump or the rockpile on the back forty. This pic is from the 1850s farmhouse it came from. The elderly man who sold it to me remembers his mother burning it when he was a child. This thing is complete and in fantastic shape. It's going in my cabin.

The man who sold it to me had it listed on FB Marketplace and he said he received calls from across the country inquiring about it. It's that desirable a stove to people interested in such things. He had done his own research and knew the value of the stove but he sold it to me for a fraction of what it's worth. I have no idea why. I'm a happy guy.
