Antique Questions Forum / Does anybody know about stove boards?

« on: February 09, 2011, 05:01:09 pm »

I have had these displayed for over 20 years. I was looking thru e-bay and saw a Wabash board for $200.00!! Can that be?
I have a Wabash Screendoor Co. board and an American Stoveboard Co. board.
Both are in good condition. I thought they were about $25-$30. Am I missing something?

« on: February 09, 2011, 12:01:28 pm »

The little old lady I bought this from told me it was from 1890-1900. It is handmade from oak. It is handcarved with the faces of pilgrims or English dressed figures. Wood pegs that screw in rather than inserting or metal hooks.
Barly twist legs and dovetail drawer.

It is 7' tall 42" wide and in good condition for it's age. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
