Info on Old Stove
« on: May 30, 2011, 09:41:23 am »
Hey everyone, Im new to the site and was trying to gather some information on this old stove I have in my garage for the last 20 years ( previous owners left it)

It stands around 4 feet tall, it also comes with a base that it sits in. Any help is appreciated.

Stove has New Century Peoria on it.

Oh my, that would be a beauty if you have all the pieces.

And worth a few buck$, also.

 The two missing doors, do you have them along with the base?

It all depends on where you are, I imagine. I posted  pics a while back of one we have, a 1920s Belgian green enamel stove (still haven't found a lid lifter Tales!) ..  and over here they can fetch in excess of $1000 in good working condition.
Over there ....?  perhaps some of the others will be able to give a rough figure

I do have the base and door.

One door or both doors?

There should be a "clean-out" door at the bottom.

Give it a really good "wire brush" brushing, then a good coating with Stove Black and then a good brushing with a soft brush like a Shoe Brush for shining shoes. Don't paint it black, use stove "blacking".

If you got all the parts -$75 to $100+ ..... AS IS.

Iffen you make it "shine" with the Stove Black - the price doubles +

Depending on your market, of course.
