My cast iron stove  email this discussion to a friend?

myLot reputation of 96/100. carmelanirel (12209)   ranked 357 out of 32,950 in life 4 years ago

I actually have taken three photos of this stove that I have considered selling. I will post others as replies come in, but I was curious about going about selling something like this. I tried to get an appraisal, but the site I went to wanted 25.00 to appraise it. I do know that this same stove was on Antique Roadshow a few years ago and the apprasial was 2.000..Mine is missing a door though, (I still might be able to find it, just need a metal detector, long story), and it has been a few years..
Does anyone know anything about antiques like this? It is a model that salesmen in the fifties I believe, would take from door to door. It was modeled after the real thing, so people could actually see what the product was on a smaller scale..

Carmel i would certainly look into it a little more before selling.I think it could be worth a large amount of money.Sorry i dont know anymore,keep trying to find out more tho..where did you get it anyway ?
happy

I posted a closer look at the printing inside. I have been looking into it, but don't know exactly where to go or who to trust..This is a stove that my Dad had turned into a lamp when I was a kid.I guess I inherited it because I was a very active child and because of the weight, the only lamp I didn't break by running into the table it was on..lol
I really don't want to sell, I want to turn it back into a lamp, but my husband didn't like the looks of it, (hence the one reason the one door is missing)..But we could really use the money

Wow neat Cramel !
I have no idea who you could contact about this.As you say its difficult cos you do
not know who to trust.The last thing you want to do is make a deal then find out later you had been conned type thing.Keep a hold of it & just keep your eyes & ears open happy


myLot reputation of 96/100. carmelanirel (12209)   ranked 357 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Yeah,unfortunately the only person I would trust, passed away years ago so I guess I will just keep an eye and ear out like you said and take it slow..Maybe I can take these pictures to many different dealers and see what they say..

I did a quick search on yahoo "antique cast iron stove for sale" and found this site http://antique-cast-iron-... I didn't see your stove but I only looked at one site - I'm guessing with a little looking you could find one similar to yours - the ones on this page are running over $2,000


myLot reputation of 96/100. carmelanirel (12209)   ranked 357 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Thank you faith, I will check out this site..he only sites I got when I searched were for full size stoves, not the model itself..Maybe they will look at my stove for me?? It wouldn't hurt to ask..


myLot reputation of 98/100. byfaithonly (6284)   ranked 42 out of 32,950 in life  4 years ago

Nope, never hurts to ask and I'm sure there are other places too - that was just a really quick search from me.
