Toy stove:Novelty

Established in the 1890s in Kenton, Ohio, the Kenton Hardware Company produced locks, hardware, and toys. Cast-iron toy stoves quickly became a mainstay of the company's toy selection. Popular models included the "Daisy," "Beauty," "National," and the "Royal" line. By the 1930s, Kenton surpassed Hubley and Arcade, two giants in the cast-iron toy stove industry, in the diversity and types of stoves offered. This coal-burning Kenton Novelty range, intricately embossed with swirls and flourishes, has four burners, a tin stovepipe, and a working grate.
