Wow, interesting story so far. Gotta say that basement sure looks spooky....
It is admirable to preserve family heirlooms especially when you have to go out of your way to do so.
Oldest thing in the family, that I'm aware of, is a circa 1917-18 GE brass blade fan that used to be in the family cabin until my aunt retired it to the attic for new ones....I also rescued my grandfather's (he built the cabin that the other fan came from) 46 GE shop fan before the place was torn down, and set it up at my new basement service bench just after moving in a few weeks back.....the story of the place I rescued grandpa's 46 GE from is almost as long as the stove saga so far.
I look foreword to reading more soon.
