This Welsbach iron stove has been in my home for a long time but I have little information about it. Any assistance that can be provided would be appreciated.

I also have a Welsbach in my home. I know the House was custom built in 1923 however I have not been able to find alot of information about it and when i contacted a very well known Antique store here in Cincinnati they had no interest. Yours looks a bit different then mine, i would quess yours is older. I have found 1 picture with some information about the one I have and she is on here http://www.collectorsweekly.com/stories/11953-1925-1933-welsbach-gas-heater
If you do discover anything please let me know. Mine is in great condition and we would like to hook the gas back up and connect it to a flue but we will need to get unbroken 'glowers" I have 9 but half have some damage to them. Thanks and good luck.
