Perhaps cold weather is encouraging folks to spend more time in their kitchens, because at Prices4Antiques, we’ve seen kitchen-related searches, well, heating up! Among the thousands of items people searched for this week, we’ve seen queries for Favorite Piqua Ware skillets, an American Stove Company “Quick Meal” stove (with three ovens!), an Akron Lamp Company gas iron, a Shawnee Pottery “Smiley Pig” cookie jar, and a brass clockwork spit jack for roasting over an open fire. Suppose it shouldn’t be a surprise – after all, as they say, the hearth is the heart of a home!
