On this site I am selling parts for old stoves that date from the 1920s through the 1950s. I have also accumulated some larger double oven stoves and some unusual stoves that I would like to restore and sell. I will gradually be adding them to the site.

Old Stoves are Hot is a well researched history of cooking stoves from about 1880 to 1955. Printed in full color in an 8 1/2 X 11 format, it also contains hundreds of fascinating, vintage advertising images and interesting photos from stove company brochures.
In addition to the 1950's classics (such as O'Keefe & Merritt and Wedgewood) the book also discusses wood burning stoves, gasoline vapor stoves, oil stoves, electric stoves, changes in stove design and their features and much more!
"This book really cooks. A must read for anyone interested in the evolution of the kitchen and cooking..."
