Chambers Stove for Sale

Update: The stove was sold to a lovely couple from upstate NY, who will be using it in their hunting/fishing cabin. The cast iron farm sink was sold to a fellow from Philadelphia who is renovating a very old house (1890s, I think). Thanks!

I mentioned a while ago that we're going to sell the Chambers Stove that came with the house. We've had it posted on Craigslist for a while, then tried a Chambers website (and got a stern talking-to from the host over there - yikes!), and finally ebay. Ebay generated some moderate interest, but other than a Craigslist spammer, no one has made an offer yet.

I know that some folks from Houseblogs.net read our blog and maybe that group might be interested. (Is it tacky to advertise something for sale on your blog? Meh, whatever. It's a piece of appliance history! I'm performing a civic duty for pete's sake!)

Anyway, here are some photos of the lovely stove. Mostly we've decided to sell it because it's just too much stove for us. It's really cool looking, but it's a beast! All the burners, the oven, and the broiler work. The enamel is intact and there's hardly any rust (a little in the warming oven). It's clean, but not super-shiny.

Here she is! To turn on a burner, you push down on the top latch and turn the lever.

With the baffle down:

With the baffle folded up (it leans a little):

This is the handle that lifts the griddle. I don't think it's the original.

The timer might work, but we've never plugged in the electric cord (same for the lightbulbs).

The oven and warmer oven.

The stovetop. (L-R): Griddle, two burners, Thermowell and burner.

Here's the griddle.

Which lifts up to be a broiler! This is the most badass broiler I've ever seen.
The tray lifts out for cleaning.

The Thermowell. Unfortunately we don't have the pots for it.

Hi there, Thermowell.

PS: We are also selling a cast-iron farmsink! It's loooooovely!!!

PPS: Both weigh an absolute ton.

PPPS: I wanted to add this endorsement from the blog The Cottage at Wit's End. That's how you're supposed to use a Chambers stove.
