This is the stove my Mom learned how to cook in the 30' & 40's made by The Jacobs MFG CO (The Jacobs Manufacturing Company) of Bridgeport ALA (AL, Alabama). It is called the New Victor No 817X. It had very few problems and appears to not be missing any parts or accessories at all. One leg has been broken for years but, using the method I saw on the "BC Truck" YouTube channel, was able to complete the repair. THANKS BRAD! Here is the link to BC Truck: Check him out; you might just learn something about homesteading and repairing things: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTffHQaauyH58rH45n5grsw While I was working on the stove, I decided to go ahead and apply Stove Black or Stove Wax to the outside. I ended up repairing the bullet hole after the video had ended so it is now back to to a usable condition. One word of caution; when welding cast iron, go slow! Don't make a long pass with the welder. It will generate too much heat and crack the cast iron. When the puddle gets red hot, stop and let the cherry go away before proceeding. (Of course, this is my opinion) This seems to be the way to get it done safely. I imagine you could use the same technique for welding cast iron exhaust manifolds, pots, pans, or other cookware such as a dutch oven, cast iron tools, antiques cast iron items or decorative cast iron. I plan on using this stove soon to see just how cool it is to prepare food on one of these things. It certainly won't hurt to get ready for a power outage, grid-down condition or scenario either.
