JohnC Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Inspected an 1800 farmhouse today, they had a couple of cool stoves I've never come across before. John Callan Click to Enlarge 51.22?KB Click to Enlarge 64.85?KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 Jotul is a Norwegian brand, Godin c'est francais. Were they used for burning coal, by any chance? They look like they could be coal burners. Read about the Petit Godin here: http://www.antiques-bible.com/ppf/term/ ... nition.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Kibbel Posted April 20, 2012 Report Share Posted April 20, 2012 The first one is pretty recent. The second one was mass produced in France. It became the most common parlour stove throughout the US during the second half of the 19th century. I see them quite frequently. Unfortunately, the enamel finish is often destroyed by folks using them for burning wood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
