Garland 3-13 H
Hi. I have a Garland 3 burner gas stove, model No. 3-3 H. I am looking to restore it and would like information on it such as the year it was made, how it was supposed to look, color, etc. I am not finding any information on it anywhere. Any information will be much appreciated. Thank you in advance

Oops, The model number is No. 3-13 H NOT 3-3 H. Just to clarify.

How old do you think it may be. I don’t see anything like what you describe, But if you could provide a picture of it we may find something. also how about configuration. Like 3 in line and overall width or is it a 3 ring burner or a hot top. Any oven? Or strictly a table top?

Hi, from what I jave been able to find out, the 3 means it was made in
March, the 13 is the year making it March of 1913. Not sure about the H.
Guessing here, it could be the Model or the 8th one made that month.

one other thing, while I’m thinking of it, all of the Garlands I have seen
arw cream and sage green or cream and gray in color. I’m thinking this one
was painted black.

Also, I found a Michigan Stove Company catalog at the Michigan State
Library in Lansing. I called and spoke with a gal requesting info on the
catalog. She is looking into it, but it will take a few days to get back
ro me. The book is dated 1928, so hopefully it will be in there.

If it is that old, what fuel does it use. Coal? Wood? or coal gas? That was before natural gas and electrification.
Â
Now the big question, Is this a heating stove?

FWIW:
In the world of modern day restaurant equipment, I can’t think of a single manufacturer who uses part of their “model” number to encode when their equipment was made, since a model number may be used for many years without changing.
On the other hand, SOME (but not all) manufacturers might make some part of their serial number as an indicator of its manufactured date.
Â
Could you please post some pictures of your stove?  That might be helpful for getting help identifying it and…because this sounds interesting.Â

It’s natural gas.

Please let me know if the photos went through.

The stove could very well pre-date the serial number/manufacture date
theory. It has been painted black and I am unable to find any indication as
to the original color. Hopefully the photos will go through.
