    Cast iron box stove

    Update on the stove... haven't done anything with the restoration yet, but was looking it over the other day and across "Made in Korea" stamped on the bottom. With that, found a number of Korean made replicas on some woodstove collecting sites. There is a pretty wide variety of these Korean...

    Got various opinions on what this is on another site.

    From the link below OXEN/STEER BRASS HORN KNOBS TIP GUARDS These little hollow brass ball things are called ox knobs. In Nova Scotia we most often see them used on the tips of horns of oxen but they are also used on steer. The end of the horn is like your fingernail - no nerves - so it is...

    Cast iron box stove

    Yeah, maybe eh? Or with the plate off and the door closed, the draft would draw over coals in the trough making them glow... a more controlled and immediate source of heat, almost like a little forge? Suppose, even for cleaning out ash... drawing a bed of coals to the front, scooping out the...

    Cast iron box stove

    Already looked. :ROFLMAO: Yeah, a draft plate, and a flat plate that covers a depression that drops down 45° from the bed of the firebox and extends about 1-1/2" deep out the door and into the hearth for the length and width of the plate. To maintain draft and facilitate ash removal? I suppose...

    Cast iron box stove

    Thanks tencents! I'm reading the old commercial stove polishes had graphite in them to blacken the finish. Gotta look to see what's available now. There's an old technique I've done for making transfer paper, you know, like the old carbon paper that was used for typewriters. You take a solid...

    Cast iron box stove

    Thanks Ronstar, I read that too, that all it takes is to burn off the rust. I've had great results with rusty things with electrolysis when it was really bad or with the rust converter and then buffing it with a concoction I make up of beeswax, pine tar, and linseed oil. I make up a good batch...

    Cast iron box stove

    Picked this up this this little beauty today from a guy who wanted it gone. Surface rust and somebody replaced a few of the bolts with hex heads but is sound and in good shape. Never seen one with this beaver/maple leaf motif on it, looked online but can't find any others like it. The beaver and...

    Metal Arrowhead Identification

    There's an old saying that comes to mind, Ronstar... It takes many deeds to build a good reputation but only one to lose it. Got an eye on you.:cautious:

    Metal Arrowhead Identification

    Maybe if Ronstar said he found it. :ROFLMAO: A better pic, listed as a Pearson 4x4 broadhead. The patent for this arrowhead was filed Aug 27, 1938 (US2182320A)

    Another brass/bronze decorative piece(s) from near the War of 1812 tavern site - found this yesterday

    Odd, the two pieces from each of the two sets fit right together: the indian head and cloak; the leaves and center piece. Did you find them pretty close together ...in the same holes? Yeah they are, some pretty amazing fancy guilded pieces of art, and two different sets no less. Doctor's house...

    You saw the spear pic and link above in the musket post? That one had a great description and good dating. As well at the link, a good pic of the back. Sorry to do this to you FindingHistory :ROFLMAO:.... was wondering if the same company, Cornelius Co NY, possibly made the pieces you found...

    Dumb luck. :ROFLMAO: Thanks FindingHistory. The hard part is always finding the right question... once you find the right question, the answers pop up everywhere. :p In this case, the right question was "girandole warrior?" There's a few in there that show the back like you mentioned.

    That one with the musket don't look right. Like they said in the ad "Note: The gun later associated" Looks like the figure with the tomahawk (as in the first set of pics) and maybe the tomahawk broke off and somebody replaced it with that musket? Looks like a toss up between the tomahawk and the...
