| During the 1920s, enamel stoves became popular. For the first time, the cook had a variety of colors to choose from plus the conveince of a stove that could easily be cleaned with a damp cloth. Typical colors were grey, white, beige, green and a spectaular blue. By the 1930s the advent of oil, gas and electricity made these fine ranges seem obsolete, but becuase they were built to last and so beautifully crafted, those cook stoves that survive today are highly prized as truly functional works of art. |
