But doesn't warm up very much. What a Bride I got and it's written on it: Golden Bride...

You are teasing us with that light inside! :drool:

I can't believe we may have to wait until next season to see her in her glory. That is okay, do it right the first time getting your chimney together. I can see she is going to be well loved. :love:

Maybe someday I will run accross a nice old BB. I like the size of your Golden Bride Norcan. Someplace there is an abondoned BB. Probably in an old barn or abandoned house. I will find it, buy it for cheap and restore it. Well I can fanticize can't I? 8-)

grizzly just one thing to considere: you must be very careful with a BB in an old barn and much more in an abandoned house...but I also dreamed a lot of times to that scenario before I decided to stop dreaming ... Maybe States peoples are more brave than us in old barns. Take care

WOW that is identical to the Penn Garnet that I have!! Same castings, just a couple that have different names. And mine has more nickel. The shaker grates, center 2, are a bit different, but I can see them being interchangeable. The big castings are all identical.

Very cool, Now to try to find the connection between these 2 compaines!

Do you have triangular ( 2X) grates in yours? In the book I have 1899, they name Bride but the book doesn't have the Golden Bride in it. Maybe they made it after the merge with Penn Garnet??? On an exhaustive list of the stove industry, there is the Grander name but not Finn Stove Works or anything about Penn Garnet...That list is: The Stove Industry in 1892.
" In 1892, to celebrate its 20Th anniversary, the National Association of Stove Manufacturers made an effort to identify all stove manufacturers in the United states, including all of its non-members and the many new firms, some located in areas quite remote from industry's old centres."
"What it discoveredwas a very considerable tunrover within the industry. 128 of 1874's 221 firms, which had cotributed 118,000 tons (46.4 percent) of production capacity at that time, had disappeared." .....
I continue to make researches on our's 2 BB. They may be 2 Sisters???

[quote="nortcan] Do you have triangular ( 2X) grates in yours? [/quote]
No it has a semi-circular type grate. They can only trun one way, in toward eachother. Nothing like I have seen before.

The round part looks exactly the same though. I

I can see how the two types can interchange. The traingular and semi-circular that is.

I made some researches for Penn Garnet, Finn Stove Works and Grander Stove Co. On a long list of Manufacturers just saw Grander. Interesting to read:

" What it discovered was a very considerable turnover within the industry. 128 of 1874's 221 firms, which had contributed 118,000 tons (46.4 percent) of production capacity at that time, had disappeared. But this was in the context of an industry that was still growing, in output and in number of active firms....."
