Hello all!
I'm Helen, and I live in Queensland, Australia. I have just purchased a fantastic little stove, and after spending a whole night on Google, I think that I have a Smith and Wellstood, or maybe a Falkirk "Queen Anne #7".
I can only find references to Queen Anne No 6, or Queenie 6 but from the photos, I have noticed some small differences.
1. The Queen Anne 6 has a round chimney opening, and mine has a very narrow oval
2. The Queen Anne 6 has tool grooves in the 2 top plates, and the piece in between, where mine does not have these grooves to put a tool in to lift the plates.
3. My stove has "Q7" on the front of the tray.
I've only found one reference to a Queen Anne 7, but didn't contain any other information, not even a picture to compare.
What I would like to know is whether anyone can more accurately identify my stove, and help with any information about when or where it was likely to have been made.
My research has not provided a great deal of information to narrow any of this down, and takes me from Glasgow to South Africa as possible areas of production, from late 1800s to late 1900s.
Please have a look at the photos that I've attached.
I'd really appreciate any information about the history of this stove. I can't wait to install it and light it up!
