And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Great. Been planning an outbuilding project and looking at stoves and now I'm gonna have to start looking at antiques. Beautiful stove, looks Art Nouveau, but this site suggests it is few years earlier (an 1880s stove).
We had a beautiful pot belly stove as a child in one of the farm tenant houses we lived in way upstate New York during the fifties. Beautiful , I loved it. Wood burning of course. The only heat source other than the wood cook stove in the kitchen.
That is one beautiful woodstove.
ReplyDeleteGot wood?
ReplyDeleteMaybe a $10K heater
ReplyDeleteMagic Stewart illuminated baseburner. I saw one in a barn in 1972, and discovered the name 40 years later
ReplyDeleteWood or coal?
ReplyDeleteSaw a western movie on TV yesterday that had a very similar stove in one of the scenes.
ReplyDeleteRepublic studios had one. I saw it in operation once, and in the background many times.
ReplyDeleteI believe one of these featured prominently in the Disney 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea movie, in use.

When pleasing the eye was as important as functionality.
