Franco & Will,
I currently have no use for one,I have a boiler.I was thinking in the fall I would use a smaller stove untill it gets colder then start the boiler up till spring, then maybe use the smaller stove again,something to get the chill out of the house. The baseburner would look beautiful just as a orniment in my livingroom.I read all the threads on these antique stoves,I admire the craftsmanship and ornate details of each stove. Thanks for looking out for me and all the others on this forum,you guys have a wealth of info. and don't mind sharing with others. Dennis

Millbrook NY. about 23 miles from me. I wanted to buy the urn on the stove but he wants to sell the stove as a garden ornament. Wound up buying several mantles for my Aladdin lamp.

That's a Stewart Oak.

Franco in the last photo of the pot belly/cannon heater it looks almost exactly like mine. It is the first time I have seen one that is that close in relation to mine. It's not exactly it but pretty darn close.

I really need to make a northern antique salvage trip one day.

Sorry it's Millbrook.

Starting to look like 'Bottle Shops Antiques' on route 44, technically in Salt Point.

I think you are right. He started with bottles as a teen.

I love to visit antique shops. This one looks particularly interesting. It is funny that most items at antique shops are priced quite high, but occationaly there will be an item that I like that will be priced realy cheap. I bouht a small old vice for $1. a couple years ago. I would like to look over the stoves he has sitting around. May find a diamond in the rough.

The stoves are pretty beat but you would like the old tools section.

Now that there is the only kind of antique shop I'd stop in.

Nice stuff!

That big stove in the first pic outside there is the exact one my buddy was trying to give me for free about 7 years ago. I didn't know anything about coal stoves then, so I passed on it & spent $1,100 on a Mark I.
