What would these be worth

[chrisp]

Hi guys, new here. Just bought a house and quite frankly dont have any use for these two fireplace/stoves, been doing research on the internet and Ive gotten everything from the black one being worth almost 3,000$ to the green one being worth 25$, figured I would come here to find out more information. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks

The black one is a "Franklin fireplace" made in the seventies. Tons, literally, of them sold by Sears and Montgomery Ward. Dangerous, inefficient, in large supply on Craigslist and worth its weight in scrap. I trashed mine in 1982.

Put it on craiglist for a hundred and a quarter and somebody may buy it.

He's right about the Franklin - worthless other than a sunroom ornament, etc.

The Crane Coal stove is pretty neat - but coal stoves have not been selling well.

Cranes son is on the forums - you might want to ask him about it (start a conversation).
