Description 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.

Hey...those links were good...Randy Boles has some good stuff about old stoves but link is now broken "due to unpaid balance". The other 2 links are for you to do your own research...and pay for it, if needed. Also, of course, check your local auction house & antique stores for advice....you may need to consign it.

While these Charter Oaks can sell for a considerable amount of money when fully restored, examples with cracked or damage to the cast iron parts are difficult to sell. Cast iron can be welded, but it's not an easy task and something best left up to the experts. Stoves in the rought like this often sell for under $500.00.
