Recreating history, this fireback mimics the design originally casted in 1775 at the first two Aetna Furnaces in New Jersey. It also features a rooster on the front, which was a popular decorative element in the late eighteenth century. The rooster had long been a symbol of victory. This fireback features a water-based black matte paint which helps prevent rust during transportation. This paint finish may show slight imperfections, but don't worry about them as they are easily removed with a wire brush, steel wool, or sandpaper! If there are any bare spots on the metal, you can cover them up with the (sold separate) stove polish. This polish may also be applied yearly to achieve a new look!
