1907 steamer

[nytrapper23]

So my daughter found this at an auction, the guy wanted $55 for it she ended up getting it for $22. I did a little research and it was built between 1907-1916. It's a steamer the bottom is brass , it has 4 racks in it, you put water in the bottom and set it on the stove and it boils the water and steams, the pipe in the back runs down the inside into the water when the water level gets below the pipe it whisles like a tea kettle to let you know to add water. It's really cool and she gave it to me.








It's from Toledo cooker and called a conservo.

Nice find, Man they use to do some manufacturing in Toledo and Ohio in general back in the day, sad all that work is gone away.

dang it don't remind of that, used to be right out of high school you could get a job with Ford or Chevy, if not the car maker's then you could go to the foundries, if not them you could go to all the private metal shops, bearings an stuff, now a days, IT'S ALL GONE........
