It is labeled as a No.13 Dictator, but I can't find anything online about it. It is gorgeous, and the pics don't do it justice. I'm interested in its age, history, and value. Thanks for any help!

Atlanta Stove works was big. They made many models. This stove looks like a later work, perhaps from the art deco period? (around 1925) Does the fancy grille in the 3d picture go on the front of the stove?
You might also try the coal forum at: www.nepacrossroads.com to see if they recognize this stove.

I believe that's the top.
I'd like to find a product list (of any year) from Birmingham Range and Stove or Atlanta. Been looking a long time and even catalog pages are scarce. You can find pots and pans, but stove paperwork is hard to find.
Do you have an idea of asking price? Inside grate intact with shaker handle? Is there an air inlet or adjustable damper on the outlet?
As a general rule, stoves aren't considered antique until 100 years old, so it's not quite there yet. Ed Semmelroth at antiquestoves.com or Richard Richardson at Good Time Stove Co. may give you a quote with lots of pictures. But they are into older high value historic stoves.

They have kitchen ranges up to the 30's so they may be familiar with it or give you a pricing idea.
The guys that used to do the wood graining sure protected their craft too. I met an old German fella graining metal church doors and he wouldn't do any when anyone was around. I guess they don't want anyone doing it when they're gone. I treat my enameled stoves like auto finish with Mother's 3 part polish, sealer, wax system. They are not fired. I remove as much rust inside as possible and coat with raw linseed oil. Takes days to a week to dry, but leaves a hard protective finish.
