Hi all,
New to the site/forum, and I am looking for some guidance and advise on an old parlor stove.
I was recently given an enamled wood/coal stove, that is in need of some restoration. Inside the lower door: Dauntless 174; The Wehrle Co, No Newark Ohio 45. The only internet hit was a 2007 forum post from this site, with very little information.
Any idea what I have on my hands? Is this worth the time/money to restore (keep in mind, it was free)? I'm not sure if there are internal parts missing or broken, as I just pulled it into my garage for tear-down, but the externals are all there, and there is very little corrosion. The outside will clean up nicely, but I am looking for a function piece for a family room renovation.
I can post pictures tonight if it will be of assistance.
Any help is greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
Jason
