Does Anyone Use Antiques to Heat Their Home? It's Showtime!

I know this pic is already in my G111thread, but I'ld like to put it here too, if it qualifies. I know it looks to be a repeat of Toms stove, but I like this thread like others have mentioned, it's fun looking at all the antiques. Hopefully more people will post.

Yet another G6, quietly doing its thing...

The G8 running at a mild 350 with Lily, our Anatolian Shepherd, enjoying the warmth.

OMG pyro, no one is that organized. I will continue to play ... we keep some sort of heat on until mid May. So this weekend, out goes the Wings Best (on castors) and in comes my cuff season baby......... on casters too. Perhaps I will video the change over if I am not too lazy. Yep it's the masters (Sir William, Casenova to this women friends) Our Glenwood number 9. It just sips coal and the changeover is well worth it. That will stay on until mid May.
The Garnet now goes out On it's way through the front door I blow out the BB passages with a leaf blower.
I also do that when it goes back to the basement with a heater bulb for the summer ... I have my theories .... and yes I did take my Prozac this morning.

wow, fantastic installation. I love the fact that your A.S. makes the #8 look like just the run of the mill average size stove by the corner.

These stoves on the first floor heated the whole house this winter. All for sale except for the Wehrle

Glenwood #6 Base Heater
Magee Crown 110
Glenwood Cook Stove Home Grand
Acme Success by Wehrle Co Newark Stove Work Chicago

The stoves are great but as a very old Bonneville owner, I want that sign. 650cc of fire that nearly killed me a number of times. and oh, that Quaker #8 would be nice as well.

Where's the #8 CN? I must be going blind.

Sams Club have really good glasses cheap.

Oh, the previous page. Guttcha. (Sams club? glasses? Are you intentionally messin with me CN? )

All my fires are out and I am bored, what did you expect.

I here ya. I'm still hangin on to mine. Maybe a week or so more.

Thanks Simon for bringing back some good memories. Tickle the carbs, and she was running on the first kick. Of all the bikes I owned, the Bonneville was my favorite.

A 650 Bonneville was the first bike I ever rode. I weighed about 125 at the time, and a friend said "if you can start it you can ride it". The first kick dam near broke my leg. The second kick dam near put me over the handlebars. The third kick and I took it for a ride

That bike was followed by my Vincent Black Shadow with a side car sprocket. I had a beat up old minivan and I swopped it for this bike as a friend of mine needed privacy for girl friend time. I also weighed about 125 pounds and had to run at it to jump on the pedal. My last ride as in the New Forest in S. England. I got tanked up in the Fighting Cocks pub in Godshill S England on a Sunday morning. The bike fell over and I was not strong enough to get it upright. The local constabulary arrested me for DUI, I paid the rather small fine but sold the bike. Too much machine for that skinny teenager.
