Some information on this stove:
"[T]he Charm Crawford of the Royal line, now being made by the Walker & Pratt Mfg. Company, Boston, Mass... represents the company's largest and most costly style, having a full size square oven, it being of the same dimensions at the top as at the bottom. The oven top is sectional and will not crack, while the oven bottom is nonwarping and fitted with removable panels, thus giving easy access to the lower flues. The fire box is extra large, the ash pan is of good capacity, the means for removing soot are convenient, and the broiler door is of ample size. A noticeable feature... is the position of the handles of the doors; instead of being placed midway of their hight [sic] they are near the upper edge, where they are within more convenient reach of the cook, as the doors can be opened when standing more nearly in an upright position. All Royal ranges have the company's patented single damper, which can be easily removed from the range. In connection with the ovens it may be stated that the oven rack is adjustable ... in the Charm Crawford at two hights [sic] above the oven bottom. This is a convenience which cannot fail to be appreciated on a busy baking day."
