Ah, My Proud Beauty

This is the ultimate "it's still good." I have made my family save this 465 pound beast from the 1920's for almost 40 years. My grandmother, who cooked on it, would look at it and say, "Ah, my proud beauty." I had it restored and put it in my new kitchen. I hope I like it.

I tried to post yesterday but it has not appeared, so I'll try again. We posted your beautiful stove on a Chambers Stove Forum I belong to -http://chamberscommune.proboards.com/thread/2423/ah-proud-beauty
and you have gotten some notice. If you would like to chime in our our group, we would love to hear from you!

Still have my Mom's Chambers C in yellow. Purchased in 1953, it was the stove I learned to cook on. Dad always said he paid a dollar/ lb for it. That would have been a chunk of change back then. Best stove ever!!!

My mother had a yellow Chambers stove not sure when she bought...probably late 1940's. My father cooked dollar pancakes and. Bacon most Sundays. They moved to Arizona in 1983. The house was sold in about 1988. Not sure what happened to the Chambers. Loved that drive
