Smaller "Le Petit Godin" This is a great opportunity to own an early,
slightly smaller example of a popular multi-fuel stove, made by the superb
and well known manufacturer Godin who has been around since 1840. The cast
iron castings are enamelled in black and the lid and "Godin" badge are
finished in chrome, which is a first for us. It has a cylindrical body on
three claw feet, with a decoratively cast door faced with mica. It is about
3-4kw in power and can burn practically every sort of combustible
imaginable, however it is more of a coal/coke stove than a wood stove. Fuel
is loaded from the top. Lift the enamel lid and there's another lid that can
be used for cooking. Open the inner lid and load the fuel. Once the fire is
established, add more wood or coal. It is superb condition for its age -
estimated at the middle of the 20th century, and is ready to use. This Godin
is simply outstanding, and these photos do not really do it justice.
