This is a very unique turn-of the-century gas fired cast iron heater/stove. It was made by the Great Western Stove Company in Leavenworth, Oklahoma City and Denver. It is completely original and has many nickel plated pieces. There are four removable nickel plated’lion type’ vertical pieces on the corners. There are also four removable nickel plated skirt pieces around the bottom and another four around the top. On top is a removable nickel plated ornatecast iron piece with a finial on top. This is a gas burning stove and has a burner assembly at the bottom. There are three very ornate opening doors, one on the front and also on the two sides, which are covered in eisen-glass. There is a flat plate on the rear to cook or boil water. I have never used this stove for it’s intended purpose, but used it as the incredible display that it is. The total height of the stove is 51. This stove has not been restored, but is in very good original condition. It would definitely be the focal point in any room it is placed in. I have never seen another like it.
