McClary's "Baby Mine Compliments of the Season" Toy / Sample Stove
This antique salesman
sample / child size McClary's Famous Cookstove
has a great look and appeal. It is an exact representation of a full size
stove produced in the late 1800's and into the beginning of the 20th century.
It looks to be cast from the same molds as a Charter Oak #503, and at approx
24" long is one of the
largest toy / sample size stoves made. The makers name is on the front top door, and a Google search reveals they are a Canadian outfit, and are indeed "famous" for their line of stoves. This is the first example I have ever seen of this toy stove though, and it or the name McClary are not listed in the book on the subject by Dick & Joan Ford.
Stoves like this fit the bill as both salesman samples or display models that would sit in the general store, but were also sold as toys at different periods.
The stove is in good condition and all original. This antique toy Cookstove, that many refer to as a salesman sample is a super piece and will make a great accent or display piece in the home featuring country store and child's toys from the past. .

Model
Cookstove The Model Stove is one of the
largest and most detailed of all toy or sample size stoves. It was made
by Kenton a toy manufacturer and this stove dates from near the turn of the
century. The Kenton name is cast into the back of the stove in bold letters.
This stove measures over 2' across, and is so detailed and such a nice casting
that these toy stoves are often referred to as and mistaken for salesman sample
stoves, and it is no wonder.
It still has most of its nickel and
all of its shelves and lids look to be original. Note the small warmer
trays / Trivets in the back as shelves with the name in cast out letters.
There are no breaks, repairs or damage I can see. This antique
cast iron toy stove is a super piece of early Americana and one of the nicest
example of this stove I have seen.

Royal
American Salesman Sample / Toy Cookstove
This antique salesman
sample / child size Royal American Cookstove
has a great look and appeal. It is an exact representation of a full size
stove produced in the late 1800's and into the beginning of the 20th century.
The makers location is on the front and the name Royal American appears on both
sides on the main doors. It measures approx 18" long across the front
and stands about 10" tall. It is a heavy and well detailed stove.
This stove was offered by the Bridgeford
& Co. of Louisville KY. There are other stoves that are nearly identical to
this one with different names, and the name plates on this one are applied rather
than cast into the doors. This was done as different companies used
the same castings or molds over the years. Stoves like this fit the bill
as both salesman samples or display models that would sit in the general store,
but were also sold as toys at different periods.
The stove is in good condition
and original. There are no breaks, repairs, or damage I can see other than some
pitting to the top and lids. Note the letter A cast into each of the 4
legs. This antique toy cookstove, that many refer to as a salesman sample
is a super piece and will make a great accent piece.

Sample / Toy Cookstove This antique salesman sample / child size
toy Cookstove also has a great look and appeal.
The makers name is on the front and is either French or German. It measures
approx 12" long across the front and stands about 10" tall on its cast
iron Queen Anne style legs.
The stove is in super condition
and original. The small cast iron pots are designed to fit into the round
holes when the plates are removed, and each one is a different size. There
are no breaks, repairs or damage I can see other than the lid to the water reservoir
which is a replacement.. The enamel black coating is original and
very nice. Antique toy stoves like this are oftentimes referred
to as a salesman samples and this one may well be. It is a super piece

Sample / Toy Little Eva Cookstove This antique salesman sample
/ child size toy cookstove has a great look and
appeal. The makers name is on the hearth plate, and reads T. Southard.
This style stove can be found with several different names on it, so the molds
must have been sold or transferred between different manufacturers over the
years. The reference I have dates them back as early as the 1850's.
It measures approx 14" long and 10" across the front.
Stoves like this make for great
accent pieces, and the different models available from the different stove companies
and toy manufacturers can make for an interesting collecting category.
This Little Eva stove was designed to have only three legs, two in front and
one in the rear. They were also offered with 4 legs as well.
The legs on this one appear to have been recast in Aluminum when this stove
was restored some years back but look original and fit exactly.
The rest of the stove is in super condition and original. There are no
breaks, repairs or damage I can see. This antique toy stove that
many refer to as a salesman sample is a super piece of early Americana!

Rival
Toy Cookstove The Rival is a very
nice and well known example of a toy stove by the J. & E. Stevens Co. who were
so famous for their line of cast iron toys including mechanical banks and stoves
like this.
This was Steven's largest toy stove at 18 or so inches long.
It still has most of its nickel, but it is dull and there are some areas with
small spots of flaking. These are very well cast and all the detail even
in the lids should be noted.
There are no breaks, repairs or
damage I can see. This antique toy stove that many refer to as a
salesman sample is a super piece of early Americana!

Queen
Toy Cookstove There are several
different makers of Queen toy or child size stoves, including Dent, Greycraft
and Stevens. This model is identified in Fords book on the subject as
being made by Stevens but I see no marking to confirm that. It is
also referred to as the mid size version, as there are both larger and smaller
ones offered. Although it is a nice casting it is far less detailed than
the other stoves I have listed.

Most of the original nickel plating has worn off. It is not a common stove,
and it is an early design. It is not a repop or knockoff either.
There are no breaks, repairs or damage I can see.
A super piece of Americana!

Quick
Meal Toy Cookstove This toy stove was made by the American Stove
Co. It is one of the larger toy stoves made at 17" across and about 2'
tall. It has been restored and looks great. There is a receipt inside
the oven from when the collector bought this back in 1979 in Ill from an antique
shop and paid the whopping sum of 4500.00. Imagine what that is in 2009
dollars. It looks to be all original and nicely restored.
The lids all look right.
Note the flip down warming shelves on the back wall. A very nice example.
