J & E Stevens Co. and More Cast Iron

This cast iron furniture is modeled after the J & E Stevens Co. cast iron Victorian parlor set.  I have not found a home for it yet.  It has been sitting in bubble wrap in a box on a shelf.  I like to get it out every once and a while and study it.  It is pretty crude, yet made to look intricate like the carved wood furniture of the time.  Maybe a room box?  J&E Stevens pieces were produced in Connecticut and date from the late 1800's.  This is most likely a reproduction.

I have two of these Victorian Settees.  They are cast iron and measure about 6-1/2" long.

This is a  Victorian Parlor chair and ottoman


These  parlor chairs and measure 4-1/2" tall.


I have a few of these victorian tables.  They measure 3" tall.



This parlor chair was a recent ebay find, to help complete my collection.

This cast iron baby cradle is similar to the Stevens cradle that date from the mid 1800's.  It is not marked so I do not know if it is one or not.


This is a tall cast iron grandfather clock.  I do not know much about it and I have not been able to find it in any of my research yet. 





This pot belly stove is labeled "Flying R Ranch" on the removable 'griddle' on the top.


I picked up this pot bellied stove at an antique store a few years ago.  I have no idea on the age, but I suspect it is probably a reproduction piece from the 1970's.

This cast iron stove is marked "ROYAL" on the door.  It was an ebay purchase and I believe at some point it was re-painted.  It has gas controls so it probably dates from the 1920's or 1930's.
