Wonderful rare Victorian antique wood burning stove by C
Portway of Halstead in Essex.
This is the no.2 size and comes with the usually lost tray.
Portways are still made today but this one I believe dates
late 1800's to early 1900's.
These tortoise models were named as such because of their
slow efficient burning of fuel. It is in very good condition and ready to be
used if wanted for that purpose.
