    Purchased at a Pickers Market, this is a cast iron (coal?) stove, about 15" tall by 9" diameter. Marked PS&Wco., No. 2, it would appear to be manufactured by Peck Stow. Research has not enlightened me, other than they seem to have been exclusive tool makers. I am not a collector, and intend to employ the unit in a tent, but am still interested in the history.

      The initials stand for Peck, Stow and Wilcox. This was later changed to Pexto. This should help in your search.

      Yeah, I got that far...couldn't find any records, or even dates, of them making stoves...

      Hey, what about the gum machine in the first photo? Looks pretty cool!

      THANKS pw-collector! Mines a bit different, but that's the one. Not a prototype or a salesman's sample, then. Good times.

      Gumball machine was in working order, but wasn't an interest of mine...
