Birthday Gift from my Husband

[BirdsBeesTrees]

First thank you for all the Happy Birthday greetings, they really mean a lot to me. My husband and I traveled to Des Moines Saturday to pick up this antique kerosene incubator that had been manufactured in Des Moines back in the day. If anyone has any info on it I'd love to know more about it and I'd like to refurbish it. My husband and dad think I should get it running but I just love the beauty of it.

When I was a kid (long, long ago) the poultry farm that I hung out at had kerosene brooders.

It needs cleaned up but the wood is near perfect inside.

What a wonderful find! Finding pieces of the past is a really motivating thing. I wish you the best on your mission of refurbishing! It indeed looks in great condition!
