Help! Rock island stove Raona b20

[jdadrummer]

I bought an old stove at an auction for $4, and i cannot find any information about other than some general company info and that this model existed. Nobody seems to ever run across this particular model (raona b20). Does anybody have any info? Value?

I’ve never heard of the Rock Island Stove Co., but there were probably hundreds of manufacturers in the US during that time. According to this website, they were in operation from the 1870s until the stock market crash in 1929:

I would say your stove is from the 1920s. Here’s a another Rock Island stove with a very similar looking serial number tag:

I would estimate your antique Rock Island stove is worth between $100-250 dollars, so $4 dollars sounds like you got a good deal to me.
