Antique Wood Burning Stove Mfg by Floyd Wells My research did not produce a date of manufacture. However, a collector may have better resources to establish a date. Based on the Circa of these stoves listed below, I would speculate that Floyd and Wells manufactured the Athens model between 1930 & 1940. Pennsylvania-based manufacturer
Floyd, Wells & Co. produced this stove under their brand name Athens. They also
made a host of ranges under the Irving brand—the Irving, Grand Irving, Loyal
Irving, Prize Irving, True Irving, Rose Irving, and on and on—as well as ranges
with names like Justice, Fidelity, Athens and Progress…..Research provided no Most Victorian-era stoves were
made from cast iron and designed to burn wood, coal, or both. Manufacturers
generally sold regionally, so the brands are not as important from a collecting
standpoint, as with stoves from, say, the 1930s and 1940s. What matters most to
contemporary collectors of antique stoves is the level of ornamentation—in
short, the more the merrier. |
