Title

Toy stove

Description

This item is a c.1910s children's toy stove. When used, this stove would have been fueled by kerosene. This stove is missing some parts and has some damage, but it includes the stove, two pots (one with a lid), a kettle, a small baking pan, several kerosene burners, and handles from missing pots. The stove is missing the chimney, a few handles on stove doors, and likely several small pots and a larger vessel with a spout for heating water.

Special Collections and University Archives staff believe this is a working toy stove, as these were commonly sold in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, however, it has also been suggested this was a salespersons' model, as it would have been more portable than an actual stove.
