We have removed this stove from a house we renovated. It was in the basement and somehow attached to the fireplace flue..... My goal here is to identify the model and get a reasonable suggested selling price. It has to get sold this week as we are moving. The dimensions of the stove are 29 1/2 Wx27Dx31 1/2H. Thank you for any and all assistance!

There is no book value for classic stoves, and prices fluctuate with season and area, so it is whatever buyer and seller agree upon. Your area is higher than Northern states. Watch craigslist in your area to get an idea of pricing. There should be a UL tag on the back giving model and date of manufacture and where it was made. If no tag, it is not UL listed, affecting price greatly since most states now require all appliances to be UL Listed for a new installation.

Coaly, thank you for your reply I will look for the tag. I have also attached photos of the inside are you able to give me an assessment of the condition. I do not want to mislead anyone nor would I want to sell it if it was not safe. again thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Bricks are usable. You can remove baffle and beat it back flat with a large hammer or sledge. Looks ready for use.
