how old is this and what's it worth?
« on: May 13, 2010, 05:25:39 pm »
I was wondering if anyone has any ideas that might help me on this.  I have this cast iron wood stove in my garage and I am trying to find out how old it is and how much it might be worth.  On the back is says:  Sheraton manufactured by Eagle Foundry Company Belleville ILL W-C22-30.  It's a good size (about 4 feet high) and in working condition.

The company started in 1883 but this looks much later.  Judging by the nameplate, I would guess 1930s.
W means wood; C22 is the model; 30 means 1930?  Just a guess.  I would expect the value to be more utilitarian on this one as it is not very decorative or fancy.  Somewhere in the $200-500 range depending on condition (no cracks) and what part of the country.  Just my guesses.

 Is the standpipe rusty/good shape?  can't tell from the pic.

$200 - $300 range in my neck of the woods (Texas) if in good shape!
