I think what you are looking for is called a laundry stove.  Harbor Freight 
has a black one, if you have that store where you are.

>just missed getting an old narrow two burner woodstove in the fall, it was
an "apartment model" all in white enamel (I'm sure the old-timey
general store catalogs have similar ones).  I got to the thrift store a few
minutes too late to snag it, dang. <

I'm looking for a stove for when I redo the kitchen here. I have my
eyes on an old Homecomfort cook stove, but it's really bigger than
what I have space for.

What you mention above is like what we had when I was a kid. They took
to old cook stove out of the kitchen and put this one in. It was
taller than the Vogelzang, tall enough to be just right to cook on. It
was narrow, two burners, white enamel sides and you load the wood in
the front. My dad got it used in the 70s, so I would think it was made
sometime between then and the 50s.

I'd really, really like one of those. I've searched the internet, just
to find a picture of one, so I could see the name, etc. It's hard to
search something that you don't know what it's called.

If I got the Vogelzang or one like it, I'd build a stand for it so I
could comfortably cook on it.

James, why are your thoughts and why is your time so filled with images of 
'wannabe bob' .  You sound like what you are really after is a sugar daddy?  
I have exposed you as the fraud that you are.  That's all.  Nothing will 
change that.  I never claimed to be a great dirt farmer or whatever you call 
yourself this month.  You have claimed to reach total self -reliance, which 
is a lie.  You need to be honest with yourself so that you can be honest with 
otheres.  You are very knowledgeable with homesteading skills; but completely 
without social skills.

And you can pretend to yourself that everyone thinks you are some great 
leader and agrees with all of your condescending, snarky attitude toward me 
and others; but they don't. Once again you delusions of granduer are blinding 
you. Most people behave better than you James, because they are better 
people.  You have much to teach about gardening skills, but you should be 
quiet for a while, because you have much to learn about people and life.

Now, let it go...............................
