Gary Davis has been collecting primarily Round Oak Stoves and has shared his love for these heirlooms for over 30 years. His passion for the stoves grew so much he bought Oregon Plating in the 70's, to do his own nickel work. He has since retired and sold the business. He now concentrates on buying across the country and restoring. He has restored stoves that have provided their new owners with a comforting source of heat and a conversation piece. A complete restoration can take from 3 to 6 months. He selectively restores whole units, mostly of his own finding, and uses original replacement and ornaments when needed.
