Clearly very old, I was told it came from a brownstone in Manhattan. I already had a six-burner Magic Chef but this was too amazing to pass up and if I wanted to buy it I had to get it out of there, quick. I found a genius stove restorer, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/1992\/04\/23\/garden\/where-to-find-it-making-old-stoves-hot-again.html?pagewanted=1\">David Erickson<\/a>,\u00c2\u00a0 in Massachusetts and he came and fetched it. A couple of years later he had finished restoring it, and brought it to my garage where it has resided for a couple of years,\u00c2\u00a0 waiting to be installed in the new house.<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\">The stove is a joy to behold.\u00c2\u00a0 Dave had re enameled it in luscious black and white, applied nickel plating and added as a touch or whimsy, brass controls. I love the brass touch;\u00c2\u00a0 now I&#8217;m wildly researching polished brass faucets for the sink.\u00c2\u00a0 Mixes of metals can work so well together, and I love the thought of the patinated copper gramophone ceiling lights contrasting with the gleaming bits.<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"font-size: medium;\"><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m an unabashed old stove nut.
