Antique Stove Library

Over the years I have collected every available book, article, and tidbit of information on Canadian stoves. The most valuable sources of information on stoves are the annual catalogues that stove manufacturers published to promote that year's product line, termed Trade Catalogues. See the example here of a page from the McClary catalogue showcasing their line of Kootenay Steel Range.
                              

I have thousands of pages of trade literature dating from the 1870's through the 1940's that means that I can supply an original illustration for most Canadian stoves. I charge $7.50 per model to pay for the time involved for research, copying, and mailing.
