What a find!<br />To find out more about the stove maybe take a photo of it and e-mail the pic to places such as Greenfield Village (their Benson Ford research library department) and/or Old Sturbridge Village.<br />Good luck!Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-86861085845396619432014-01-04T16:43:08.478-05:002014-01-04T16:43:08.478-05:00I was "treasure hunting" in my buddy'...I was "treasure hunting" in my buddy's pole barn and came across an old stove. It said Sullivan stove Co. Zanesville Ohio 1821. It looks to be parlor size. It has sliding pocket doors and a fancy swirley design pattern. I have Google's myself silly. Any advice.

I am proud to say that Yes, I know what a wall pocket is and I have a walnut one in my living room, although I do not have it hanging as low as it is suppose to be. Yours is very nice and I like the one at Firestone Farm too. Those heating stoves are spectacular, the detail work on them is beautiful. At first I was thinking that they were all in your home and I thought Wow! and then I realized they were not. I thank you for such a great post!

A really fine place to go.<br />Take care,<br />Ken Historical Kenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04979801752112100293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-83202306588973106812013-04-12T21:33:51.290-04:002013-04-12T21:33:51.290-04:00Loved your post!

To me, the everyday life of the average (historical) person is more interesting than all the dates and names of important people.<br /><br />Also, where did you get your wall pocket? It looks so handy! :) <br /><br />-VeronicaA Country Victorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10551248929367930725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-56451385109293718.post-54542918867080973602013-04-12T19:58:22.285-04:002013-04-12T19:58:22.285-04:00Great food for thought, Ken.

You are very fortunate to own one - very pretty. And I must say, I truly admire your son for his tenacity and his endeavor to truly savor the past. Unfortunately today it is almost impossible to make a living from being a farmer - sad but true. I would love to live on a farm in the country and live off the land as much as is possible. Ah, we can dream, can't we :) Great blog post. VickiAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04600348617168569768noreply@blogger.com
