This is a complete set that has been handed down through the family. I was just wondering what it is worth.

I've seen only one stove like this, which is in the Auto Museum in Rolla, MO. Can not find one exactly like this on-line. I would rate it between Fair and Good condition. There is some rust on the inside and slight rust on the outside. It appears all parts are on the stove except the pipe, and the gold ornate skirting. The hinge on the top door don't work properly, as well and there is a crack through the base that the stove sits on. The inside also has a large crack around half of the circumference, where daylight shows through. There is a silver ornament on top that slides to the side, allowing what appears to be a cooking top area. Pictures say a thousand words on the beauty and uniqueness of this stove. Any info and pricing suggestions are most appreciated. Oh, please note that the base (the bottom resting part, with feet) are missing from the photo taken outside.

The plate belongs to my grand-mother. We have no idea where it's from or if it's of any value.

Price tag came with description stating; "...pair of Googly eyed dolls. Stand 6"...Bisque heads and composition bodies which are fully jointed. Features are all painted; side glancing eyes...'lip smacking' expression. Hair is flocked mohair. Dressed in handmade outfits. They have come here from Argentina where there is a very large German population from a Post War immigration and were made in the 1920's. No cracks chips or damage." I have attempted to research the dolls and have had no luck with any similar examples. Obviously they were well taken care of and support a early Black Americana theme. There mouths are the most unusual thing about the dolls, supporting a "lip smacking good" description as seen above. Not sure if they were manufactured as an advertisement tool for some kind of early publicity attempt.
