Belleville stove works cast-iron stove

[Leah Asher]

I found an old rusted and cast-iron stove it’s very ornate and I was wondering the value It says it is Belleville stove works. On the top it says Imperial right by the flu and no 120 close to the front. It’s very ornate and the feet are in the shape of horse hooves. It’s very rusty and was wondering if I should sand blast it or leave it as it. It appears to be in good working order with all the parts.

Yes, sand blasting is the easiest method to remove all the rust, but don’t use sand. Use something called carborundum crystals, its typically used to polish gravestones.

I would estimate the value of your Belleville stove works antique stove to be in the $100-125 dollar range. Here is a similar stove that sold in that price range in the past:
