[BCMA] laundry stove donation offer

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

I’m guessing this is an important artifact. Was it used in a Chinese hand laundry?

To the List Serve

 

A donor has offered Burnaby Village Museum an early last century DORCO (Dominion Radiator and Boiler Company) laundry stove. Would have been used to heat sad irons or other laundry irons.

 

Please see the attached images.

 

BVM already has a laundry stove so I am passing this information along to see if anyone is interested. 

 

The stove is in the Lower Mainland.

 

Contact me at tom.gooden at burnaby.ca and I will pass the contact to the donor.
