A while back, I acquired a cast iron child’s toy stove that would have worked well for 1:6 scale, except it was too short. I recently purchased a beautiful Little Maid pressed tin, lithographed toy stove from the 1930s with the same problem — too short. I justified this purchase by saying that I have three currently active characters who like to cook [Amish, Night, and the Magister], and the Magister is exactly the sort of person to have different cooking places for different foods.<\/p>\n

Incidentally, I did some research, and apparently stoves really looked like that in the 1920s and 1930s. Little legs were common, as were multiple ovens, often set side by side with the burners.<\/p>\n

I’m surprised that toy stoves running on electric current were so popular for decades. As far as I’m concerned, that sounds like second-degree burns or a house fire just waiting to happen.<\/p>\n

Anyway, shortly after I acquired the Little Maid stove, I found Sixth Scale Studio on Etsy. Besides furniture, this shop also makes risers for kitchen furniture so that it’s a more realistic height for 1:6ers.\u00a0 Huzzah!<\/p>\n

Before risers. Everything about the stove is otherwise in scale. It’s just too low. Note the eponymous Pretty Maid with marcelled hair and a flair for bakery!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

After risers. Silence demonstrates improved height of both stoves, as the Magister is too busy snuggling the Hippie to show them off. The risers are 1″ high and made of medium density fiberboard.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
