But still, someone had to be paying enough attention
to identify that
stoves *should* be put aside somewhere as a document of the evolving
technological landscape. At the time, even for the good items, I'm
sure people looked at him weird like "dude, why are you collecting
stoves?".
When you have been in the collecting biz as long as I have, you will
find that there is always someone, somewhere, collecting anything you
can think of. And then they show you the newsletter of the collecting
group they belong to...
I can not think of anything that is not collected, modern or otherwise.
Also, things on the top tier, like Chambers ovens, are almost always
saved. People just hate to throw away something they spent so much
money on.
