Charter Oaks Range and Stove Co

[drchristyconstantin]

Can anyone comment on a Charter Oaks Base Burning Stove value? It is a Waldorf Hot Blast #31 and seems to have been a coal-burning stove. It is 22″ high, 10″ across the top with a semi-circular vent opening of 3.5″x7.5″. It is ~ 8.25″ diameter at the base with an oblong lid that lifts to load fuel apparently. It also has a pan rest that swivels out from the surface of the stove that is 6.75” diameter. It seems to be cast iron, and is in excellent condition.

The Charter Oak Stove & Range Company started in 1848. I believe they started in St. Louis MO. They stopped using that name in 1949, but I think your stove is from 1917:

I would estimate your antique cast iron stove to be worth between $75-250 dollars.
