This summer I got my first cast iron burner stove, from the late 30s early 40s. Found it in my dad's well house, he didn't know anything about it and let me have it. It is pretty rusty. Then about 2 weeks latter I picked up a 3H cast iron burner stove for $8. It is from the late 20s, early 30s. The 3H has gone on to a new home.

Then about a month after finding that I picked up a 1954 220, at an estate sale for $15, looks like it has only had the mantels burned in and never has been fired with gas. It was also in the original box. The lantern is as perfect as I have ever seen without being new from the dealer. Box is kind of funky. Not sure what I am going to do with that lantern. Never know what you will find out there. Last year at another estate sale got a Nov 1927 L227 for $7. one of about 1500 ever built.
