Vintage NU WAY kerosene mini stove. worth restoring?
« on: July 15, 2012, 03:39:27 pm »
Hi again folks, found this at a yard sale and was thinkin of restoring it but wanted to make sure it wasn't worth more in original condition. The name plate says Nu Way Stove Co Wolverine Michigan. Must be for hunting or ice fishing, seems to be in working order. Only paid $8 for it so any info would be appreciated, thanks!

No particular antique value !! It isn`t something that will look good in anyones living room and as it is has little resale value !!  However,, cleaned up and restored as you have done in the past and I think it might be worth a bit more than you gave for it !!  Go for it !!
