The Historical Society welcomes any information that can be shared on this lovely King Jewel 118 (1902) stove.

This gem was housed in the Charlestown Cemetery storage shed until it was torn down, then moved to the township building. It was in poor condition when Jack Pahls got his hands on it, painstakingly repairing it with equipment at Trustee Tim Patrick's business. (A huge thank you goes out to both men!) Jack did extensive welding on the stove including the repair of the body and legs as well as a new paint job. While not in working condition, it is still a thing of beauty which will find a new home in our museum located in the upstairs of the Town Hall.

Please feel free to share any information you have. Thank you!
