1978.6.2Description
Sap boiling stove patent model. The sheet-iron boiler is composed of two main parts: a circular drum and a cylinder resting sideways underneath. The circular drum has an open top that shows iron guides to direct liquids into a trough, and a small overhang of curved iron. A single circular spout is cut into the middle band of the drum. An old paper label is attached to the side of the drum and reads, “Samual B. Spaulding / Brandon Vt.” in faded brown script. The cylinder underneath the drum has a hinged door that opens. The entire model stands on two pairs of arched legs. A hook extends off of the drum, holding a string and tag that says, “No. 37, 464 / 1863. / S.B. Spaulding / Stoves for Boiling / Sap. / Patented Jan. 19th, / 1863.” in typed and handwritten text.Context
