That shiny thing on top is a Lincoln penny.

Manxmodder:
 Ralph,that is a real beauty,a full size one would also be equally desirable. :drool:
Is it the sort of thing that a foundry apprentice would make and is it cast iron?

Also,I'll pop a few photos onto this thread when I finish my pattern piece and get round to doing a silicone mold of the ornamental iron finial I referred to earlier.

Keep doing what yer doing.........OZ.
 

flyingtractors1:
Thanks again, Oz. 

There is some debate as to whether the little stove is a salesman's sample or an exquisite toy.??   It is cast iron and designed / built to work.  I don't think that it was designed for children to play with as such even in the olden days? 

By all means, please do post your experience pattern making and mold building.  I need to see how silicone molds work.

Thanks, MBgoneAK. 
Here's a recent build based on a picture that I saw on the net.  First, some of the component parts were fashioned.








Then assembled in its rough state,





and polished to sterling silver luster,





and toned with a black patina as was the old original wrench.   Ralph





A comparable scale.  It is 1/4 scale and 2 inches long:
