Cooking range (Marklin)

| Arch Two , Area 11 Play Kitchen (display) |
An ornate toy cooking range with bread oven (fixed on top).
The toy was made by Märklin, Germany, circa 1902-1906, and is displayed with its Märklin kitchen set.
The cooking range is a "working model", in the sense that it is spirit-fired, with three door hatches for the fuel.
The fact that the model burned alcohol probably added a sense of excitement (and danger!) missing from modern kitchen toys, and it seems unlikely that any current manufacturer would countenance selling a model like this to children.
