Hi Eveyone!

I'm bringing this old girl home soon, and my wife and I are looking forward to the restoration process!
All grates, handles, and dampers are in working order.
If possible, I am trying to find the original color choices, to bring it back to original.
As well as any manufacturer that produces after market thermostats, handles, knobs...

Any help would be appreciated, as this is my first major undertaking.

Dave

Congratulations on saving another Pittston #904 !

The handles and trim can be replated and the thermometer rebuilt.

The 904's were porcelain coated in black, gray, and white. The two tone colors were also porcelain enamel. I have one at the shop right down the road from you in Dallas, that is tan with brown highlights.

Looking forward to seeing more pictures when you get it home

Paulie

That's Great!
I'd love to take a look, and learn a thing or two!

I'm totally lost in this process... lol
