These Oak stoves were common before central heating. I would guess this one dates from the late 1800's to early 1900s. It looks pretty complete. I would estimate the value now at around $5-700. Restored value could be twice that. You might try seeing if the nickel will polish up. If so, that will make it look more sellable.
