Parlor Stove restoration
Hey guys. New to the forum and found my grandfathers old parlor stove under his porch and thought it’d be a nice way to heat my barn/workshop and add some character. It’s been sitting for atleast 50 years under their porch and it’s pretty rusty. Anyway I could restore this old guy and bring it back to working order? Any help would be appreciated .

Not many people here posting in the summer.
The part all broken up does not look repairable. Watch Craigslist, Facebook for a twin to the stove and use it for parts. It may take 2 or 3 years to find one but thats the cheapest way most likely.
You could also try calling the various stove restorers and see if they have the parts you need.

It will pick up once the cooler weather arrives...
Start looking for a parts stove or just plain parts...
They are cheaper when the weather is hot...
