For sale is an authentic Peninsular Stove Co. “Log Cabin” cast-iron parlor/box stove, manufactured in Detroit, Michigan in the late 1800s to early 1900s. This beautifully crafted piece features ornate Victorian-era scrollwork, a front door marked 1882 (pattern/model date), and decorative cast legs. Peninsular was one of America’s major 19th-century stove makers, and their “Log Cabin” line is harder to find than their more common “Oak” or parlor models. This stove is ideal for collectors, restorers, historical reenactors, cabin owners, or anyone looking for an eye-catching antique decorative piece. With cleaning and seasoning, it can also be restored to functional condition. Maker: Peninsular Stove Company, Detroit, Michigan. Model: “Log Cabin” (size 25). Material: Solid cast iron.
