Richmond Stove Company, Regal 22

Made by the Richmond Stove Company, Richmond VA, this stove, a Regal 22, is 28" tall at the cook surface with an additional 3" for the roundrels at the front corners. It is 24" wide (the feet being the widest point) and 20" deep (again, at the feet).

It was on the back porch when my mother bought the house. The owner, at the time, said "I'll come back and get the stove". Some years later, my mother contacted her about it. "Oh, I'll come get it." Twenty two years later and it is still on the back porch, slowly deteriorating. So, figuring that at this point my mother owns it, I decided to remove what rust I could (with a modern rust remover) and spray paint it with 2000 degree high temp paint with the thought of someday being able to build a fire in it. I have just started this process and as you can see I have completed the top cook plate and the front grate ... easily removeable items.
