Old Glory stove?

[Randy700]

I, realize this stove might be to old for this forum but I'm just looking for any info on it ie: year and possible value.
As far as, the model# it has, old glory #23 stamped on it?..see pic's and thanks in advance.

Yeah, it's older than me.....or my days selling.

It's a nice find and I would think it has a decent value - always depends on the exact condition, though. You might look at good time stove co online to see if they have similar models and what they are going for.

Might be worth keeping around as an heirloom.

Thanks for the info; it's missing the front glass and has some cracks in it. I bought the stove about 15 years ago for decoration and now have it sitting on the patio.

It looks old enough to use mica (also called isinglass) for the door glass. You can still buy that in sheets.

Thanks Begreen, since the wife thinks it's ugly and scary, I probably won't be spending any money on it.

Some folks will probably really like that look. If the parts are all there and the stove is not damaged I would seek a professional opinion. Cleaned up and restored some of these stoves are valuable. Send in some pictures to Good Time Stoves or other antique stove dealers to get an appraisal.
