Antique solid oak storage box, made by Fireless Cook Stove as seen on label on the front of the piece. It has three raised panel hinged lids with clasp locks and strap hinges. The exterior shows raised panels on all sides and the box in on wheels. Our research shows that this is an early 20th century piece that warm food would have been placed in to either keep it warm or to let it "rest" and continue cooking. Some of these pieces would have had metal lining and most would have had soapstone trivets/disks that would have been heated to make the piece functional. (This piece is not lined and does not have the soapstone pieces.) Size: 3'2"w x 15"d x 16"h Location: Sun Porch
