The B & M Cottage parlor stove has a cylinder shape with a smooth steel body sandwiched between a cast iron top, base and legs. Nickel-plated cast-iron doors in the front of the stove can be opened for a view of the fire. Nickel-plated finial and feet combine for an added sense light character. Wood is loaded from a side door or from a hinged top. Understated in its design, this antique heating stove does feature touches of lovely scroll work on the top, on either side of the cook lid, and on the legs. A draft control is located on the side loading. Manufactured by the Boston & Maine Co. the stove is a powerhouse heater warming an area for up to eight hours. Design simplicity and heating dependability are a winning combination for the B & M Cottage parlor stove.
