While on a bicycle ride the other day, I came across an old rusty wood stove at a yard sale and picked it up for $50 thinking I could use it as a novelty piece in the back garden, but after getting it home I started thinking of restoring it. I couldn't find any info on it on the internet, so I was hoping someone here might be able to give me an idea of what it is worth and if it is worth restoring or not. I don't know if it burns wood or coal. I'd also like to know about how old it is.
The back reads: "Steiger and Kerr Stove and Foundry San Francisco, California", and on the side "Occidental" and 17RH and has a Tappan wrench that works the grates inside the firebox.
It stands about 25" (30" with the top piece) and 17" W x13" D.
The cook top is cracked and one of the 4 legs is slightly different that the other three.
There is some type of thin glass material inside the top front door.
Any info would be appreciated.
