Erie Antiques, Eriez Stove (pic)


I like to post antiques I find in Erie or are related to Erie. This was passed down in the family. It is an Eriez gas stove that has been altered to simulate a fire inside. It has a plug that lights a bulb that flickers. I removed that bulb and burned wide,squatty candles inside. It worked out well so I'll be removing the cord, also. I think it is perfect since we only have an ornamental fireplace. I tried to find information about Eriez but it seems there is only an Eriez Magnetics and I don't think it is the same company. I think I read somewhere a while back that the Eriez that made these stoves were somehow related to Griswold. I'd appreciate any comments to whether that is true.

"Behind the Mantle" Arthur F Schultz Co

"Behind the Mantle" Arthur F. Schultz Co.

We found this brochure behind our mantle. It was one of many "discoveries". From the early 1930's. The whole brochure can be read by following the link below the picture.

Circa 1810 Tall Clock (pic)



Virginia Antique Series

We recently went to Virginia on a vacation. We just loved Colonial Williamsburg. Anyone that is an American antique lover will love this picture of an 1810 clock located in the DeWitt Wallace Decorative Arts Museum in Colonial Williamsburg. I'll post a few more pictures this week of some more great antiques from that area.
