Enjoyed Christmas Eve at my neighbor's, who showed off an old Eagle potbelly he picked up some years back. I told him I'd see about what it's worth - it's got a somewhat repaired crack at the bottom, and while I couldn't get it open, I couldn't see any rust, but who knows?

Kinda heavy for a boat anchor...😜. I'm not one who see's much value in decorations, but maybe there's a market for it.

Assuming it's "decorative" and not used seeing as you couldn't open it, but there's obvious clearance issues if it is used.
 
It's an old coal stove. Maybe worth $4-500 to the right buyer.
