Late 1800's Branded Wood Stove Door Found (Hodson Brothers Great Falls, NH)!

After searching an old homestead farm from the 1800's, we finally came across something that proves the era is accurate. Great Falls, NH is now known as Somersworth, NH (name changed around 1900's). I actually found an article online that show the "Hodsdon Brothers" as wood stove dealers in 1880. What a great piece of history! :wink:

I hope you didn't have to carry that door very far. They get heavy after awhile, but do make good displays along with other stove parts, which quite often have fancy designs on them.
