I was given this stove as a young girl from my grandmother. It is in perfect condition except missing one burner cover. I have always displayed it because I love antiques.
I would love to know what year this was made and if it really is an antique.
Hi and welcome to CW.

I'm unsure about dating this stove, so some more research is necessary. Time to turn to Google and look up salesman's sample etc. etc. You could also send a message to the above vendor and ask them if they have any information about the age.
Let me know what you discover!
Thank you Gillian, I will keep you posted.
I see these once and a while. I'd think toy, not sample.
I have one of these somewhere around here. I used to anyway. It's a salesmen sample, I think or a child's toy. I'm pretty sure it was used as a sample. haha I just saw the comment Gillian left. so yes, a sample. I'll be finding mine soon! They hold a great value but you can't put a price on the sentimental value!
Thank you all for the replies! I checking out google and the link Gillian sent me.
