Kinda randomly I adore these old stoves. They’re old, handsome and so useful too (most importantly). I don’t adore all antiques in general, just these guys. Even a simple antique stove is wicked awesome. Maybe I just like stoves. lol
box stove : i bought same one with a missing tray as yours! so i created my own from scrap metal! tooks me like 1 hour or so and i sold the stove for 150! you can try as well before you get rid of it !
I have a friend letting me tear out some shiplap out of an old barn. There’s an old round German looking stove in there I’m thinking of sandblasting and repainting.
Your first stove is Art Nouveau in style and may be very rare and artistically valuable. Try some more internet research in art nouveau collections and historical restorations and you may find a market for this lovely stove, even in it's present state.
I have found an old Gas Stove that I can't find an information on except the Manufacturer, Co-Operative Stove Co. Cleveland O. Looking for some help. Thanks
They are nice but are mostly coal stoves and no matter what you do, burning coal stinks! Back when I lived in the mountains, some would remove the brick lining, sometimes leaving the very bottom layer, and line the exposed part with heavy sheet metal so as not to burn out the original sheet metal outer wall (if it was not cast iron) this way you could burn wood and be able to put more wood in and get heat quicker than waiting for all that brick to heat up. They are beautiful ornate stoves, later in the 1900s, many homes that were outfitted with these stoves in each room converted them to gas by simply installing a burner in the base. In WV and Pennsylvania, it was a popular choice when gas was brought into the towns, and I'm sure other areas. Gas was much more convenient and getting rid of the mess of dealing with coal and smelling it was a welcome option.
Don't know what coal your saying is "smelly, cause I've been burning anthracite in a 100 yr old glenwood 111, (for over 10 yrs now), and know that wood is for the young and energetic who like battling the work required to get and store the fuel, and keep one running. Once my Glenwood is tended to, it'll burn all nite, and continue on, W/O tending. Just pour in a bag a day, and M/T the ash pan, and enjoy the huge amount of BTUs that only coal can provide. And B4 the current administration destroyed the economy, (again), coal was cheapest to burn, compared to all other fuels. Now because it's almost doubled over nite, it's barely a break even.
@@joequillun7790 You are right about burning wood being a young man's game, I still use the same Jotul #4 wood stove that I heated my house with 46 years ago. Back then I lived in Northwestern WV, and the only coal available to us was loaded with sulfur and, I believe "soft" coal, even though most of the plants in the area burned coal and it was a stinking mess, didn't burn all that long and produces a lot of clinkers (is that the right word). I think you got the better "hard" coal farther North into PA and over into NY. It would have been a favorable option as I always ran out of wood in February and had to cut and try to burn green wood, ogh!
@@samTollefson You bring back memories, because my 1st stove was a Surdiac, and I believe Jotul bought them out. The Surdiac was an OK stove, but because it was so small, needed much more tending. And I'm surprised being from WV, you couldn't get anthy from Pa. Aren't the mines relatively close? And the soft coal you mention is bituminous or "bit" coal, which I've never burned. I hear all the power co.s burn it, cause it's cheap. From what I hear, it's pretty dirty stuff. But I will admit, I do like the smell of a wood fire, and miss the dancing flames. Wish I had a fireplace to enjoy the entertainment. Enjoy your summer Sam. :)
@@joequillun7790 Thank you. I don't recall the Surdiac stove, in the mid-70s, to supplement my construction co. business in the winter months I opened a store selling and installing wood stoves. the Jotuls were the top of the line back then and introduced people to the baffle system and secondary burning which shot the efficiency numbers way up there, everybody copied them for that and their quality airtight designs. Unfortunately, folks in my area couldn't afford them and each year Kirstia Assco., the distributor in Portland Maine, raised the prices to what they could get in the Northern cities and priced me out of the market. The Jotul #4 was an upright stove that looked a bit like an Easter Island statue with a large front door that would swing down and slide under it leaving the front open like a small fireplace, it had a lining of brick and a screen you could clip over the openning. It is a beautiful stove and still has its original gasket! This is why I dragged it around the country with me before settling here in Central Florida. The occasional Hurricane has provided me with mostly enough "free range" roadside firewood these last several years using it only about 2 months of nights per year. And a safe good summer to you, Joe.
Hey Trail Break Farms. You seem to know a lot about these old wood stoves. I just bought 1 in poor condition at a auction. Could you take a look at it and tell me what you know and think about it? Do you have a email I could send you pictures of it
Hello ... I’m looking for info on a 1917 No. 77 C Emrich parlor stove . Asking if it’s a coal and wood or just wood ? Is there any books 📚 on these ? Ty
I'm sure you could do wood. Not sure about coal. I use wood in my stoves. Best info you will find on the Stove is online. You could also try a forum on stoves.
@@trailbreakfarms that’s might work .. but do you have a link or a www. Something. Every time I do a google search it’s always the same .. vids from 11 years ago . I have not seen 1 bid on the barrel restore . Now I am working on my other stove .. a Round Oak 16 on that I need a baffle , new barrel
I recommend taking lots of pictures before you begin so you can remember where everything goes. Then its just a matter of taking it apart piece by piece.

Just curious if you ever had or used an anthracite coal stove, like the Chubby anthracite stove and your thoughts? Cool collection. Thanks, John
I haven't. sounds cool tho, I'll check it out.

I found a picture of your place universal stove on line but it did not have a horse on top of the stove it had a trophy.
i was just wondering what year my ironworks stove is worth it is all original down to every pin and screw and its a Boxwood 181
I inherited my grandfathers Atlanta Stove Works ‘Admiral’ - can’t find any information on it sadly. I believe it’s from 1902ish. Any ideas?
