It comes apart with all the legs coming off and doors and lids to make it lighter to move. Easily handle that that point. $600 OBO. The top measures 23 in x 28 in. But the actual footprint with the step out piece makes it 31 in by 23 in. And it is 26 in tall. 😀 The Jewel Windsor (or often "Glorious Windsor" and simply "Windsor") was a line of antique cast iron stoves, primarily parlor heating stoves and kerosene oil stoves, sold by Montgomery Ward & Co. through its catalogs in the early 20th century. The stoves were manufactured for Montgomery Ward by the Lakeside Foundry of Chicago, which was a brand name of the company at the time. Key Details Type: The line included various models, such as cast iron parlor stoves (pot belly style) used for wood or coal burning, and wickless kerosene oil stoves. Manufacturer: They were made by the Lakeside Foundry Company, which operated under the Montgomery Ward brand. Era: These stoves were primarily sold between the 1900s and 1920s, with some catalog pages dating back to 1907 and 1918. One appraisal dates the sale of a Windsor model from 1910 to 1915. "Jewel" Name: The "Jewel" designation often appears with a sculpted crown emblem on some models, highlighting its status as a highly decorated parlor stove. Function: They served as a primary heat source for homes, at a time when many people still used wood stoves or were transitioning to other fuel sources like kerosene or gasoline. Value and Collectibility Today, these stoves are considered valuable antiques and collectibles, with their value depending heavily on their condition and whether they are in working order. Valuation: Appraised values vary widely. A non-working stove needing refurbishment might be valued around $350-$450, while a fully restored, working model could fetch over $1,500 or more from serious collectors.
