Old metal plaque

[nsm1978]

Found this at an old homestead in the Adirondacks, not sure what it is. Maybe plaque to a wood burning stove.







It says Something (can't make out) & Queen. PAT'D 1862 TROY NY

Had to zoom in to read but it looks like it says Sheldon.

Using Google image search, type in "cast iron stove Troy New York", and you'll see lots of old stove images pop up! Hope you find yours. Have fun! Andi

Oh yes your right. I can't find anything online though. I would love to know what it is.

A little enhancement shows it to say SHELDON & GREENE.



There is a Sheldon & Greene listed in the Business directory for Troy NY in 1866.
