Hi Mta, the "claw" feet are decorative and functional and featured on several stove from the 1930s and earlier. Look at this post:

What you have so far looks pretty good. The bun feet on the stove are my favorite as well. Let us know when you flame that stove up.

Thanks for showing it off,

Hi Sam, I believe that this stove has claw feet not bun feet.

Thank you for the edit George. I keep getting the names of feet mixed up in my head. I've started a bad habit of calling anything that doesn't have fold-able feet the wrong thing. I _do_ like non-folding feet - claw, tube, and bun. Reduces the chance (very slight chance) of damage that may occur with hinged or folding feet. Three less moving parts.
