Antique Favorite Stove Co. No. 15 Cast Iron Parlor Cylinder Stove

A highly desirable late 19th or early 20th-century antique cast iron parlor heating stove manufactured by The Favorite Stove & Range Co. of Piqua, Ohio. This No. 15 cylinder-style model features a beautifully embossed main door with an integrated radial draft wheel regulator and distinct maker hallmarks. The piece features a vented dome cap, curved scrollwork legs on a molded base unit, an ornate separate floor skirt plate with floral relief motifs, and a highly decorative removable finial top piece. Opening the main door reveals a selection of original internal shaker grates and operational hardware pieces. Dimensions: Stands approximately 42 inches tall to the top of the dome cap (excluding the decorative finial extension). Condition Report: Offered in as-found, uncleaned estate condition, ideal for a full historical restoration or use as a rustic accent piece. The heavy cast iron frame retains sound structural integrity without visible cracks or structural fractures. The entire exterior surface displays a heavy, uniform coating of cosmetic dust, storage residue, and light surface oxidation. The main doors, hinges, and draft wheels move freely. Internal grates are uncleaned but present; the side mica windows or cylinder panels show typical discoloration and wear from previous active use.
