Jon and I negotiated a trade for a larger wood stove and an antique wood cook stove in exchange for four of Jon's oil paintings, with Janice and Andy Andersen, friends from our church. Jimmy Hedden, loaded his tractor onto his trailer and took it to the Andersen's home to load the stoves into our trailer. Joe Holland and Bill Vernon went along with Jon to help move the stoves. Then Jimmy transported his tractor to our place for unloading the stoves. Both entry doors had to be removed to get the stoves into the house. The small stove weights almost as much as the large stove.
I contacted the Comstock-Castle Stove Company by e-mail asking for information on the Economy Z68-6 cook stove. John R. Spake, the president of the company, identified the stove as being from the 1930s. The stove adds a nice touch to our entry.
