Found this little stove at an auction in Lucedale, Ms. Not much information. Made in Birmingham, AL. No-19 printed on top. Few missing items but hopefully will be in good shape once I get her cleaned up..
hello.. Ive got a number 18... they are from Birmingham Range and Stove works... B S & R co. Ive already taken mine apart, cleaned and repainted it.. mine has a water jacket around the belly for heating water.. but the interior jacket is damaged... and I cant find a lower shutter door for it...
No doubt you can find parts for this. Step back and look at the cost of parts compared to the value of the stove.
Ive been all over the internet.. Im trying to find the part...but I have no idea of a value of the stove... I got it super cheap so I can afford to put a little into it to make it right...
Great little laundry stove used to heat water for laundry. You could set a copper boiler on it and it would be low enough to work the laundry. I love the "Welcome". I probably have the lids for this stove. If you e-mail the size ( inchs across) I will see what I can do. I sm sfraid the doors well be a little harder to come by. rockerville@aol.com
That looks exactly like the stove we used to heat the small house my family moved into when we relocated from Michigan to Arkansas in 1966. We woke up to a cold house many mornings. The stove had to be fed constantly with small pieces of wood. It was my job to keep a supply of firewood cut and split for the stove. Stove lids should be available at most farm supply stores, if they're large enough. Or in old-fashioned hardware stores (NOT big box stores or chain hardware stores like Ace or True Value).
