Item History & Price

Please consider to make an offer - I am not greedy !!!
Up for grabs AND THIS IS NOT A JOKE OR A REPRODUCED ITEM
A roughly 200 year old cannon stove. I have this stove now for 30 years and I inherited this beauty from an old German guy who actually remembered his father burning wood in it - do the math. The story is that the stove was actually milled out of an old Danish cannon, altered and pieces added on to make it a usable and functional stove. When I picked it up... 30 years ago, it was ugly, slightly surface corroded and pitted. I think I rescued this stove at the right time. It was professionally sand-blasted and painted. The guy I hired to do the job installed a modern threaded steel rod inside to secure all the pieces together (at that time I had small children). The rod can be taken out and the stove can be taken apart within a couple of minutes.
The paint is a super dark, almost steel gray color with accents of medium to dark gray, metallic blue and a silver top-crown.
Measurements :height : 56 "
bottom diameter : 16 "
top diameter : 11 "
the crown itself : 10" in diameter and 6 3/4" tall
upper door : 6 1/2" in diameter
lower door : 7" x 7 3/4" rectangular
I do not have any documentation and an excessive research on the internet came out empty.
Shipping is out of the question unless you organize fright. If that's the case, I would be willing to build a very sturdy crate on top of an oak pallet and secure everything (building material of course is on you).
I am asking a good dollar here even if I have absolutely no clue about the actual value - it's all guess-work on my side. Having said all this, please consider to make on offer. And if you have any information about this or similar stoves, please let me know and I will add your info to this listing.
Here is the small print in big letters:
Free pickup only at my location or you organize fright.
Untested, sold as is - I do not except returns.
PayPal only please - it is a very save transaction service. And I expect a full payment within 24 hrs.
Any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
