Vintage kitchen stove

Recommended Posts

This was on a farm trailer on a remote rural road. The asking price was very low. I stopped and enquirer. Selloe realized it was way under priced but does not like the hassle of selling so priced to sell. It is a complete stove, no parts missing or damaged. On one side heat with wood, etc on the other cook with propane or natural gas. 

 

Will likely sell it to buy new tires for the Suburban.

 

i grew up with such, how about you?

my grandmother cooked on a coal stove and had a hand pump in the kitchen.  When i was small and stayed over I used to break the large chunks of coal into smaller ones with a hammer.  Kept me out of mischief I believe.

 

Awesome!  My great-grandmother had the same!  'Cept she had running water installed by the time me and my brother came about, but she still had the hand-pump in the kitchen and was always keen tp prove it still worked.  I remember the collier delivering coal, and "GG Ma" digging through her coin purse to pay him.  Then me and my brother would break the big chunks down into what nowadays is nut coal, didn't help to keep us out of trouble, though.  We must have had too much fun and made too big a mess, but she still had us do it when we visited in the summer, probably to "build character".  This was in Centralia, IL when the coal mines were still open, so coal was the preferred heat source.
