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.
