Very cool! I think the price is steep.
I wonder what year this is from?
Brent

Well, I paid $400 for the one that's hanging in our kitchen and then a couple hundred more to ship it...followed by umpteen hours of sanding and repainting.

I don't think the price for that one is bad, especially being copper. Sure, it's not thrift store / yard sale pricing.....but, where you gonna find one?

 

[a440]

I would talk them down to $20 bucks. Like the one I just found. LOL!
I love the copper.
Do you know what year it could be from?
Looks very early.

No idea on the year. It's not "early" though.

All the early ones are big and primative looking, like my white one, and they have that full backsplash that goes down the wall behind the stove.

$350 Is Only a Start:

It'd take another $350 worth of Brasso to get it gleaming again, LOL.

Seriously, I'm with you, Todd - where ya gonna find another?

 

[austinado16]

It's not an early one. All the early ones look like mine with the sort of primative design and the big backsplash.

Dang it......

Why didn't it show my first response and now I've double up answers.

Sorry 'bout that.
