Antique Stoves:  Feature Article
What were stove manufacturers discussing at the annual National Association of Stove Manufacturers’ Convention back in 1881?  “How do we sell more stoves?”  One manufacturer tried using meretricious ornamentation, which another manufacturer declared, “It is a fad that will soon go out.”  The first replied, “That may be so, but I sell a lot more stoves with it than without.”  What was the meretricious ornamentation they were debating?  How did it go on to influence practically everything we now make and sell?

Antique Stoves:  Pictures
Ah…the fascination of fire on the hearth, the sound of a crackling fire, and the flicker of flame.  The faint smell of wood burning and a warmth that warms you all the way through.  Thoughts of life with a slower pace, in a simpler time when status wasn’t measured by the car in your driveway, but by the stove in your parlor.  The artwork that is cast into these antique stoves is part of our American heritage.
