Here, at last, is a long-awaited reference for collectors of cast iron toy cook stoves and ranges. This comprehensive book covers a century of toys, from the 1840s to the 1940s from both major manufacturers of full-size stoves and ranges and toy manufacturers. Included are stoves and ranges produced by Kenton Hardware Co., Hubley Manufacturing Co., Dent Hardware Co., Ideal Manufacturing Co., Majestic Manufacturing Co., J. & E. Stevens Co., as well as the Philadelphia Stove Works, Orr, Painter and Co., and many others. Over 400 examples are shown, alphabetically arranged, displaying many of the most sought-after models including the Acme, Buck s, Charter Oak, Daisy, Model, Waldorf, Zenda and everything in between!
The A to Z alphabetical format gives readers quick identification of toy stoves and ranges by name, while the Index, organized by manufacturer, provides a consolidated cross-reference. Collectors wishing to expand beyond the central theme of cast iron toy stoves and ranges will find useful chapters on go-withs, and complementary fields of collecting.
Each caption includes description, size, manufacturer, and current market value. This invaluable reference will delight and inspire toy collectors worldwide.
