I bought a Atlantic 40 Kitchen Wood Stove on Craig's list and cold use some help to obtain some information for restorations and parts. This will be going to my camp after its restored.

Here are the two pics of my Model 40 that I bought. It's missing the chrome trim piece an the oven shelves. I'll try to get more pictures tomorrow. I'll update tear down and repair pics as I go along.

 

I have contacted Auburn Stove Foundry Company Inc. in New Gloucester Maine. I was told that it was made in the late 30's and early 40's. It's bigger than the Empress model Model #8 (which is in size to the Princess Atlantic) The Model 40 is comparable size wise to the Queen Atlantic and uses some parts like in the firebox grate assembly . It also uses some Empress parts like the thermometer as shown in the pictures.

Here is the damaged grate plate and the model 40 plate.



The stove at the storage locker staying dry.



Firebox with only the front fire brick not damaged. More pics to come on the firebox. I have the remnants of the old bricks that I will cement together for display. I will reline it with Re-factory concrete. I already purchased the materials to mix it.

Excellent. Can't wait to see some more progress.

Thanks.

I might even stop in on a separate pilgrimage. The first pilgrimage will be to Cabela's and Auburn Stove Foundry.

They were recommended by ABF. They have some really nice stoves for a stove shop.

Been playing around with MS Paints.

Even though I want to keep it the same color. Some people want me to make some color alterations. I been looking at some other stoves.



The colors pallet so far is white, ivory, almond, brown, lite blue, lite green, or forest green.

That looks like the stove my grandma used to have in her house, it now resides in one of my shed's.  I might have to go out and look to see if it's a atlantic stove.  Looks like your picture, at least from my memory.

If its the same model, it is pre WWII making it rare.

Rick from American Restorations on tv could fix that right up for around $9000.



Those are good looking stoves. Would be neat to have something like that.

Went out to the shed today to see what my old stove is.  It's not a atlantic, it is a Copper Clad, then below that it said malleable range, with serial number pb83-dlb. Said it was made in St Louis.  I haven't spent any time researching it yet.  Still in pretty good shape.  Seem's like we took it out of the house because it took up a massive amount of room and didn't meet code anymore because it shared a common chimney with the propane furnace.

Well. At that price it would be done wrong.

Cheaper to go to the Stove Hospital and get it done right.

BTW. Most of the stuff he refinished for people on the show are up for sale here.

Ricks items for sale
The show is more BS. Its mainly all crap fights and less how to.

This is the fridge from the show.

Kelvinator Refrigerator

I have the same exact model at my camp. I also have the parts he did not have or replaced. Like the ice box door,  and drip pan. I also have the drawers and glass shelves.

My friend gave it to me in 1989. I moved it out from a second floor apartment that he was renovating. On the way down the stairs he lost the grip from the appliance dolly and the fridge pushed be through the wall and pinned me in.http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3v-mphZD_Xc

We nicked named it "The Bell".

At least I didn't ride "The Mare of Steel".

Copper Clad Stove for sale

Does yours have the reservoir?

Waiting to get a sand blaster this weekend to blast some needed aged rust away. I ordered some items on Ebay.

Mine does have a reservoir, but doesn't look like that one.  I started doing some research on them, it appears copper clad was actually another name for Monarch stoves.  I found some website on them and going through their old catalogs  mine looks alot like the monarch 505 series.  I think this would place it being built around 1935 or perhaps a bit earlier.  I think the farm house was build in 35 or 37 so  roughly around that time.  It appears they are a bit valuable.  I never though much of it because it doesn't appear to have a very large wood burning area, so in my mind I always wondered how good they were at cooking.  I'm sure they were pretty good though when using coal.   Was told by some family members it was a life saver in the 70's when they had a big ice storm and was without power for a couple of weeks.

I'm now thinking highly of cleaning it up and maybe getting it restored.  Don't have a place for it now, but perhaps if I build a house in the next decade I'll think of incorporating it.  Sorry I'm computer illiterate or I'd post pics.

I've been looking for a cookstove like that to put in our polebarn. My wife and I have several get-togethers through out the year and run the woodburner for about 8 months of them. Everything is cooked in crockpots,the grill or in the oven in the house. Someday, I want to surprise her and come home with one like yours.

Right now is a good time to buy one. I missed one here in Manchester that was for sale at $75 and another at $150.

All these homes being taken over by the banks has caused the prices to drop across the board. The banks are either dumping the on the market or the scrap guys.

I am now seeing some incredible stoves for $500 to 800. Some people that are trying to sell them are dropping the prices by hundreds of dollars at a time. Some real beauties are now getting real cheap.

Mine was $325 on Craig list. I didn't haggle over the price. Debbie was a real nice woman and put up with my strange work schedule. I lost her email address.

While looking for parts(shelves) I found this.

Mini Cook Stove

Like I said. Lots of deals and now surprises.

I found a couple of lid lifter on Ebay that are both Atlantic

This one is a little beat.



This one in better condition


Ok. I won the bids.
