content: Stove with parts used to lift it. Pictured and described in USNM Bulletin 141, pl. 70a fig. 3, and listed as number E128135, donor unknown. This number does not appear to be correct for the stove and lifters, as 128135 is described on the card and ledger book as "balls of charcoal", and there is a bag of charcoal with this number in the collections. The stove was on exhibit in NHB Hall 7, case 61. The two "lifters" were not exhibited in Hall 7. When stove was removed from exhibit in 2005, it was found to contain some fuel. Typed label with the fuel calls it "Rosin - solidified pitch which burns vigorously." One of the lifters is a piece of polished metal in the shape of a dolphin (?) with a rat on its back. The other is rusted piece of flat iron, about 2 inches across with cut-out flower pattern. The photo in USNM Bulletin 141 shows a pair of the flat cut-out lifters, so one is missing. The stove is round, and has fan-shaped pieces attached to the sides. Size is 22 cm diameter, 17 cm height.
