I bought my house three years ago. This stove has been hooked up to a gas line in the basement the whole time. I never checked to see if it worked. Who knows it might, an old lady owned it before me and lived in the house 15-20 years.
Stove number 550-A Serial number 1931
As the pictures show the panels are surface rusted. The corrosion is building up and it needs a good restoring.
IS THIS WORTH ANY EFFORT? Does this stove have enough value for someone to buy it from me and restore it? Or myself to fix it (I work at a body shop and have painted appliances before) and sell it in good condition? Or perhaps save my time and sell it by weight at the junkyard

This is an older painting that was given to me about 8 years ago and she didnt know much about its history either. She did tell me to hang on to it because it had value. i am interested as to what the value may be. thanks
