Pullstart 63,837 #1 Posted Monday at 11:41 AM This weekend I picked up this 702 I dubbed Benjamin, and whilst doing so, Mrs. P. went with her girlfriends to the big city, estate sale shopping. They found a couple cool stoves @ebinmaine I bet BBT would die for! I grabbed a low deck trailer from a buddy and headed up to see about getting things out of the basement of a 140 year old downtown city house. Narrow rooms, tiny doors, smaller staircases. The Detroit Jewel and the cook stove were the initial buys. The heater stove with the top fire box was nabbed after I got there. Me thinks hunting blind. 2 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 70,003 #4 Posted Monday at 12:36 PM Some awesome stuff there! Trina sure would love those stoves. That thing from Greenfield Massachusetts. Not far from where I was born and raised. Many moons ago there were oodles of great manufacturing facilities in that area. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 57,034 #5 Posted Monday at 12:49 PM That was quite a haul there. The kitchen stove resembles the one my mother cooked on when I was a wee little tyke. At the time our electrical service consisted of a few pull chain lights and a couple of wall receptacles. When I was about three or four years old new electrical service feeders were installed and we were able to have a refrigerator and electric stove as well as lights in every room. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gotta ask... when's the indoor plumbing scheduled...? 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The water heater was a fuel oil unit so it had a small pump and blower which were also electric. We just didn't have much in the way of an electrical service, a single 20 amp 120 volt service is all that anyone out in the sticks had at the time. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
