    • You’ve obviously never had to attend to a coal-fired stove, then.

      I got introduced at the tender age of five.

  1. Reminds me of the feed store in Ardmore AL. When I was a kid all the old men sat around a similar Stove and played dominoes every day. It was funny when a couple of 80 year Olds got pissed over the game.

    • I know where Ardmore is! Or, I should Ardmores… I use to go hunting all the time up at the Limestone Hunting Preserve.

  2. Here abouts in my town is a very comfy old coffee shop. Used to be a hardware store waaay back, shelves lined with all sorts of items like in the picture. Likely had a stove somewhere, the building is from 190something. Along the floor are 14 or so well worn small bronze plaques, about 1″ X 2″ with numbers from 1 to 14ish. Nobody knew what they were for. Then one ol’ geeze told us. Makes perfect sense. Any guesses?
