toy stove
« on: November 20, 2014, 03:05:34 PM »
saw a "Pearl" toy stove today, just a small square stove with a pan covering one of the 4 holes.  $9.00 sound good?

Hello Robert. There are SO MANY of them little reproduction stoves that unless I was holding it in my hands so that I MIGHT could tell, I wouldn't touch it with a ten foot pole. And for nine dollars, I'd say you're better off keepin your money in your pocket. Thats my opinion. I don't collect little stoves but do have some of them. Hope that helps.  :)

Look at the hardware holding the stove together. Walk away if any of the screws are Phillips or look like they are recently made. Also, the problem with missing eyes is unless it is a popular stove, finding the original eye is next to impossible.
