For Auction (Local pick up only, I will not ship as this is a cast iron antique and I do not want to risk damage) is an "Oakland National", "Excelsior stove and mfg. co.", of Quincy, Illinois No #202.

This parlor stove dates to late 1800's or early 1900's. 

It stands over 5' tall, and weighs around 275 lbs, (as best I can guess).

The pictures speak for themselves.  Good looking stove with some issues.  I would call this item a "tweener", it looks great as is, but could be restored which would increase it's value.  I like "tweeners" because not everyone wants to spend $2500.00 to decorate a house.  And with this piece, the nickle plate is the nickel plate from when the store was made.  So, it has some rust?  It's 100 years old!

Now, the issues:  

In the pictures you can see one side panel where the nickel plated apron would attach is broken.  The piece of cast is gone.  The apron will no longer attach to that side.

One piece of apron is gone.

The glass on the stove door is gone, and someone put a piece of plastic in it's place, and spray painted it black.

Other parts of the stove have been spray painted, but in this case they actually did a decent job.

I mentioned rust and it is apparent in all the photos.

The stove door has had a hinge pin replaced, this turned out well, I don't think it is an issue.

The nickel plated apron which has the stove's information has a crack of about 1" in the center top.

This is an old stove and it has not been restored.  It is a "tweener".  Let the pictures speak for themselves.  The stove is located in Chillicothe, Illinois.  Again, it is sold as local pick-up only.  It breaks down into smaller pieces, two strong persons can move it, and I don't mind being half the crew.

I have reduced the price for auction and Buy it Now to as low as I can go.  I may have to put it away until cold weather, so interested parties should act. 

Thanks for visiting and please check out my other listings!  Dan
