Re: Black lead fireside range (please help)
 

Sounds about right Susie. Also can still taste Cod Liver Oil Emulsion when I think of it..yuk! Himself remembers their bath night, always Friday. Five boys - youngest in first, eldest last - him being the eldest. Water boiled on stove in a big pot. Two bedrooms - 3 boys in one bed, 2 in another. But tell you what - they were happy times, we didn't know any different.

Tin bath, of course.
