The recent drop in the weather has had me firing up the range some days. Never a chore mind!
Mine is a Guidwife range cast by the Caledonian Stove and Iron works of Bonnybridge. It has a period glazed door over the firebox that must have been made by the maintenance man at the hotel from which it came.
It’s been a busy week on the ranges front with two new aquisitions and two that arrived to be restored. The new ranges are the early Guifwife portable range below and a Belle portable and the restorations are the cottage open range below and another Belle portable destined to be returned to the ploughmans living wagon from where it came.
