Notes:
Stove given to Mary Ann Parke in the mud 1950's by her parents T.S. and V.L Parke. Stove was with Ginny Dolls. See 2002.11.097 for history. This stove was like my grandmothers stove at least in my pre 10 year old memory; a real treasure for me. Come from tradition of miniature stoves used by salesmen to teach children. Stoves like this, were made later for use only as toys. See Document file for 1902 Sears similar full size stoves.
