    Great stove! Thanks for sharing the photos! I have one that needs some love. It seems that there are not many like this around with the wagon wheel knobs and the attached tank. Seems like they may have not sold many before making changes to this model. Do you have any more info on this stove?

    Dude, that's a beautiful stove. Did you restore it or was it found in such immaculate condition? This is one of the nicest stoves I've seen here and a worthy entry into the stove-of-the-month competition. Thanks for sharing your treasure with us.

    I don’t have that much information, although the “Grand Rapids” on the label dates it to mid 1920 or earlier.

    Ben, I bought this one at Harold Porter’s auction. It was already in outstanding condition.
