There has been a flood of hits on the site with regard to antique or vintage appliances. I failed to mention any sources (sorry about that – I had not anticipated the interest) so here goes. eBay of course — Nothing wrong with checking and scanning eBay for antique appliances.
Some of my favorite sites that have good information on restoration as well as vintage and gas stoves for sale include Antique Appliances.com. Antique Stoves is another great site — their inventory is divided historically- for those looking for choices of stoves within certain periods. Both of these sites also have parlor stoves, wood, gas and dual fuel stoves not to mention other appliances.
Perhaps you are seeking something more like an O’Keefe Merritt — then try Vintage Stoves.com
Maybe you have an old stove in the garage or basement that needs work — Or Aunt Alice wants to get rid of her old Wedgewood — the companies mentioned above will also work with you to restore your appliance to showroom condition and in perfect working order.
Perhaps what you are looking for is a McCray Refrigerator. I am researching a couple of craftsmen that canĀ build one for you providing the beauty of an antique styled refrigerator with the convenience of today’s technology.
The custom made McCray style panels for your subzero doors could even come complete with the old style hardware. Here is a 36″ panel created for a Sub Zero — ain’t that sweet.
Nothing quite completes or tops off a restored home like vintage appliances. You can still find these gems on eBay or your neighbors garage. Also try taking a look at Craig’s List —
Its pretty amazing what you can find there.

I purchased ice box hardware from Roseland, it never came and I still have not gotten my money back.
Allen — I have looked into this and you should be hearing from him. Please remember that when ordering there is a lead-time between 4 and 6 months at this time.
