My mistake...it was a Monarch wood cook stove and later, I used the 1930's Oriole gas stove.

The Monarch looked very much like this but this one but not nearly as pretty, being original to the house and well-worn.

I had to go out to the smokehouse [yeah, seriously] and see what the name of the gas stove was.

I no longer have the Monarch...and no, you don't want one...LOL

Both were ordered from various Montgomery ward catalogs [late 1800s/early 1900s] that are somewhere up in the attic, still.

The charming -real- linoleum "rug" with the nausea-inducing pattern also came from the 1920s MW catalog.

It got tossed right fast, too...after I scraped and peeled it off the old yellow pine board floor where it had sort 'grown into the wood'.

Bleah.

Those quarter-sawn yellow pine floors can be real beauts if you work at it.
