children's cast iron stoves

I previously posted a child's stove that I fired up and baked biscuits in. Here are a few more child's stoves from the 1890's. The second photo is a close-up showing the wood/coal grate of the first stove. It's amazing how detailed these stoves were constructed, even down to the vents directing the heat to the top burners or to the oven. Even more amazing than that is: they actually gave these stoves to their children and told them to build a fire in them. My, what the lawyers could do with this type of lawsuit material.
