Antique Questions Forum / pittston stove company coal/wood stoves

« on: October 04, 2003, 03:22:28 am »

Pittston Stove Company began operation in 1864, the works were destroyed by fire. In 1869 it was rebuilt and in 1882 its name was changed.
This is a model No#14, Happy Thought Stove. :rolleyes:  that is what is inscribed on the stove.
A early 1864-68 Pittston stove company stove with Maroon highly detailed ceramic enclosure,

I would like to find out more information on this stove. It is not a pot belly, so what kind is it?
It looks more like a furnace, inside of the maroon enclosure.
Can not find anything on the net about the stoves this company made, before the fire in 1868/69.

anyone know about these stoves or the company? :ph34r:

Antique Questions Forum / Spanish wire/ metal sculptures by N Valdez?

« on: October 04, 2003, 03:15:07 am »

we have two wire / metal sculptures by a N.Valdez, theyare of muscians playing instruments and stand 2 to 3 feet tall. I need help in finding any information on artist or sculptures.
Rumor has it that he was a classical muscian turned sculpturer of muscians.
Sotherbys said it dates about the 1900's and that is all they would say.
I have pictures that can be sent by email.
