An interesting name for an interesting heating stove. The Ventiduct was manufactured around 1900 and was considered part of the “modern series” at the time, which is evident in the fascinating design element in the marks on the front of the stove. Nickeling is at a minimum and featured only on the base and the skirt. Look closely at the skirt to see a beautiful hand-crafted design on the nickeling – a nice touch. This stove is a powerhouse of a heater. There is an ash cleanout door located below the skirt and a cooklid hidden beneath the top. The Ventiduct combines function and form, and does it with interest.
