Went sking at Snowshoe WV this weekend. Went to the Foxfire Lounge and was greeted by this fine piece when you first came in the door!!

Casting said:
Empire Peninsular #515

It looked to be in very nice condition, although it didn't have any glass in it. They had it filled with rocks and christmas lights. From a distance it really looked like it was in use!

Wow :!: That is one attractive stove. I never saw one with as many windows as that one. Lots of nickel plating too. I suppose the windows were originaly mica. :)

Hey, you were just about 15 miles from my house! You could have stopped by and seen an old stove with real coal in it instead of lights. :lol:

OK, OK, Fred. :surrender: I added the name of the town I live near. It's a wide spot in the road, and I live three miles out, so if someone wants to steal me, they'll have to work pretty hard to find me. :P This is a nice area IMHO; the county is 942 square miles, 9000 people, 3 stoplights. I grew up in the city but I sure would hate to have to live in one again.
