What a cool stove. I love to look at old kitchens and all the gadgets and copper pots they had back then. Glad this stove brought back memories for you, Rose.
We lived in Kentucky from 1953 through 1959 and about half the houses in that town this is what they cooked on so I have seen them and eating food from them many times but mother never had one
we had a similar stove like this when i was young Rose... believe it or not they are making modern stoves like this that burn gas... and they cost a fortune....peter:)
I am on the hunt for an old gas stove this very minute. There are a lot of them tucked away in garages and barns. My problem? I am looking for one that has an oven big enough for my turkey roaster!

That was probably state of the art back then. Neat shot.
ReplyDeleteShe's a beauty, for sure! My grandmother cooked on a wood cookstove until I was grown. I remember that hers was green. Lots of good memories there!
ReplyDeleteMy grandmother had one of those, and that's what my mother learned to cook on. :)
ReplyDeleteI don't remember those at all, though there were plenty of kitchen ranges that were the focal point of any farmhouse kitchen, especially in winter.
ReplyDeleteI remember my mother's stove...I remember adding wood....wow, are we ancient or what? lol
ReplyDeleteUm fogão que fazia o aproveitamento das madeiras.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e continuação de uma boa semana.

This looks like the one that was in my grandmothers kitchen. This looks like it's in pretty good shape.
ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteIt is a cool stove, I love the more modern stoves they have now.
Take care, wishing you a happy day!
I like the design of the stove where there is a shelf to place the salt, pepper and etc.
ReplyDeleteMy Mom's was a black one, but I do remember it clearly. Also had an Aunt and Uncle that had one for many years after.
ReplyDeleteWow! That takes one back in time! A great find that recalls so many memories.
ReplyDeleteWHat a beauty. My grandma had a stove like this.
ReplyDeleteI love it, very cool!

ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful old stove in exceptionally shape.
ReplyDeleteI remember visiting an older coupe when I was a kid and they used the wood burning stove.
ReplyDeleteAmazing ...

All the best Jan
We've sure come a long way.
ReplyDeleteThat looks a lot like the stove we had when I was a kid.
ReplyDeleteMy mom talked about her grandmother having a stove like this. Great photo.
ReplyDeleteis this coal or wood burning? I can imagine scrambling some eggs on the top, but the challenge of baking seems beyond difficult
ReplyDeleteI can't even cook on a modern stove. I can't imagine using one like this, but plenty of people did.
ReplyDeleteI love that stove, I would definitely cook on it.
ReplyDeleteAn amazing scene with so much history! It looks like a stove that was built to last a long time.
ReplyDeleteI am on the hunt for an old gas stove this very minute. There are a lot of them tucked away in garages and barns. My problem? I am looking for one that has an oven big enough for my turkey roaster!
