Hi,

My other interest isn't as large as my Dodge Truck interest, but can be as heavy to move around sometimes.

My great, great grandfather founded Glascock Stove & Mfg. Co. in Greensboro North Carolina in 1873. The company is still in business today, but the foundry operation shut down in 1964. They made all kinds of wood & coal stoves, plus other items out of Cast Iron like Pots, Skillets, Wood Splitters, Man Hole Covers, etc. I've been collecting them for over 20 years and have a really nice large collection.

In the future when my 1946 Dodge 2 1/2 ton HD Stake Bed truck is finished, I'll be combining my two favorite hobbies. The 46 Dodge will have Glascock Stove & Mfg. Co. on the doors and a couple of old stoves mounted up on the stake bed.

My wife wishes I'd collect something small and that doesn't come with rust! Guess I've got rust in the blood.
