In Shakespeare’s “Hamlet”, Ophelia advises her young brother to avoid perdition thusly: “Show me the steep and thorny way to Heaven”. No arguments there, but even the virtuous have to eat, so no harm in taking a break from our travails and using a fine stove to conjure up a delicious meal for all who accompany us.

One of the most versatile and bullet-proof stoves ever made, right here in the Windy City. Six burners, and two broilers under the two match-lit ovens (we can install auto-lighting oven safety systems for a total of $1800). If you’ve got a big family, or you just really like to cook, you will love the availability of so many cooktop burners, and two ovens that are well regarded for even and accurate temperatures.

Did we not mention looks? Timelessly handsome, and very little used, based on the condition of interior and exterior porcelain (All missing parts will be included, rusted/tarnished chrome, dials etc. can be restored for additional cost).

Yes, it’s a bit odd that one oven has a window and the other doesn’t, but the fact that you are looking at this website indicates that you are not one to blend in with the masses. You can deal with it. As a matter of fact, you will love this stove. And since it is so well made, and so well constructed, you’ll have many decades to do so.

========================

DO NOT CLICK TO PURCHASE any stove. Email/call us to discuss, but before you do so, YOU MUST READ THE FOLLOWING:

The stoves you are about to look at HAVE NOT YET BEEN SERVICED. IE: they are in the same condition as when we pulled them out of a house (There are a few exceptions). While we only acquire stoves that we determine are in good condition, you must understand that they have been used for 60+ years and most likely have never been serviced.

We will schedule your stove for service once we have secured a 50% non-refundable purchase commitment. Prices shown includes all original standard parts and full mechanical servicing, with minor repairs (IE, a long list of work that we know any stove will require). (Clocks/timers cannot be repaired). Also included is full exterior cleaning and light interior cleaning.

Extra Costs: Be aware that “Major repairs” may be required, usually to replace a bad thermostat or oven safety valve, or repair broiler lift mechanisms, rotisserie motors, etc., each requiring extra work and extra cost). It is impossible to know if your stove requires any major repairs until we encounter them while doing our work. We highly recommend asking us about “preemptively” replacing/repairing thermostats or other vital components in order to extend the service life of your stove.

Full interior cleaning, delivery, and installation available at extra cost. Restoration of chrome, enamel, etc. is NOT included and is generally NOT available.

Many of our stoves have “match-lit” ovens, IE, the oven must be lit with a match/hand-held sparker, etc. anytime it is used. Conversion to an auto-lighting oven safety system, utilizing a thermocouple safety valve with standing pilot, can be done for around $950/oven on most stoves.

If you or your shipper are picking up a stove: We charge to expertly load or assist loading your vehicle ($250 for single oven stoves, $500 for double oven stoves over 40”), assuring a fast, safe load without injury to body, stove, or vehicle. If you do not want us to assist/load, we roll your stove to the street, rain or shine, and remove it from our rolling platform. We provide no advice, tools, padding, boxes, etc. Either way, you should bring at least two 16' ratchet straps with 1"-2" webbing, packing material, packing blankets, 2-3 storage bins to hold parts. If you use/keep our rolling platform to load your stove into your vehicle, the charge is $50
