We recently (yesterday) came into possession of a really neat looking parlor stove. I see all the names and things on the stove, but that doesn't really tell the story about these stoves. I tried to look up Cresson Parlor Stove online, but there isn't very much info out there.
Anyway, I basically wanted to post some pictures and see if anyone could give me any real info on these stoves. How old are they, where were they commonly used, is this a particularly good specimen, what are they worth...you know, basic info.
The only thing I know of that is wrong with this one is that one of the legs is not the original leg. It's the leg you can't see in the pictures.
Any info would be appreciated. Thanks!
