    Never seen anything quite like it. It's a gorgeous old appliance. Any more markings on it anywhere that would help identify a manufacturer or a place of origin? Rick

    on the front it says new leader if you can read it in the pic on the right it says somersworth foundry...... underneath and on the trim are many dates and words. It was refurbished not long before i bought the house. Some of the dates are 1910,1914,1917,1922 I assume when it was redone some parts were beyond repair and it became a hybrid of the company's stoves. A few of the plates say 86 r cab. standard with some of the above dates. I know somers... made a model 85 standard as some of the above websites say but i suspect this thing is a tad bit more rare. well for a mongrel anyway

    That's a real beauty of a stove. Is that a water jacket heater on the right side?

    I'd get on the phone and chat with some of the folks that restore these stoves. This one looks to have a lot of potential with not a lot of work. It's already in pretty nice condition.

    yup that s whats on the right. The stove was redone just about 2 yrs ago i was told and since my last post i discovered a giant 86 on top in the back left corner where the kindle/cook damper is. Boy I felt dumb when I saw that, they are 2 inch numbers. Therefore I guess I have a somersworth model 86

    Hello, I have 9 Somersworth stoves all Standard not New Leader but the parts are identical with the exception of the over door. I have 2 Standard G model 86 and they look exactly like your stove except I don't have the water jacket. I have a lot of info on the foundry but have never seen a stove like yours from Somersworth. Been restoring them for around 20 years now and was very surprised to see this. Learn something new all the time! Let me know if you are interested in anything I may have.
