Salesman's Sample Stove

Two interesting finds today. I believe this is a French salesman's sample stove, marked Dupont Fallon Brevete SGDG. Unfortunately missing are three burner plates and the rectangular plate for the water heating tank. I initially thought it was a toy but the details are impressive and beyond any of the toy stoves I have seen. I estimate it weights more than 40lbs.

The seller would not sell the two stoves separately so I picked a A "Tiny Tot" stove, missed a huge rear crack with a bad repair. I was too focused on the other stove. Has anyone seen these stoves before?

Those are huge compared to the ones I've seen. I have a small one with missing stove eye covers and have thought about cutting them out of a steel plate of the appropriate thickness and painting them with stove black or flat black paint. Mine is a Venus and I only paid $4.00 for it. It's about 6" tall. I don't know what would cost you more having someone cast them or having a machine shop punch out a copy of a cast. Just a thought.
