FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Do you sell reproduction stoves?
No. Mill Creek Antiques specializes in the restoration and sale of authentic antique stoves only.
How do you restore the stoves?
Stoves are disassembled and cleaned, and iron parts are welded or re-cast as needed. Trim
is re-nickeled and/or polished as needed and then the stove is reassembled, sealed and rolled onto the showroom
floor!
Can you restore a stove that I already own?
Yes! Customers from all over the United States bring us their antique heating stoves and cook stoves for restoration
work. Simply call us at (785) 636-5520 to discuss your project, or email us at stoveking@millcreekantiques.com.
Can I buy stove parts and supplies from you?
Yes. You are welcome to inquire about a part or trim piece you need for a stove you already own and we will check
our inventory. Please allow some time for this process. We also sell and ship supplies such as stove blacking, mica
panes and semichrome polish for the trim.
Can your gas stoves be used with natural gas?
Yes. All of our gas stoves can be converted for use with natural gas. However, we do not do the conversions
ourselves.
Do you ship stoves across the United States?
We really prefer that you pick up large fragile items such as stoves and antique furniture, but occasionally we can
arrange a delivery through one of our shipping partners, or through Craters & Freighters of Kansas City. If you
choose to use Craters & Freighters, Mill Creek Antiques charges a small fee to get the stove to them in Kansas City.
Above and beyond that fee, the actual delivery charges are then paid separately and directly to Craters & Freighters.
They also offer insurance on your item.
Please call us to discuss a possible delivery and to get a rough estimate of what the cost might be to you.
I see you list items on Ebay. Is there anything special I need to know?
Not really. The process is the same as for any standard Ebay auction. Each week we list 1 or 2 items from our store
on Ebay reserved at a lower price than what you see on the website. If you meet reserve and are the high bidder, you
win the item! Payment methods accepted on Ebay are the same as what we accept in our store, and the winning
bidder can hold their item with a deposit if immediate pickup is not possible.
I bid on one of your stoves through Ebay and then the listing was pulled saying the item was no longer
available. What happened??
The stove sold to a "walk-in" customer at our store in Paxico, Kansas. All of our Ebay listings state: "Every item we
list on Ebay is also available for sale at our store in Paxico, therefore on some rare occasions we must end an
auction early due to the item being bought and paid for by a shop customer. We trust you will be
understanding of this situation when it occurs."
