Not a tractor but I found it in the barn

[Pawnee]

Obviously it's worth thousands, I just need you guys to tell me how many thousands.
All the parts are there and fit together remarkably well.
I can not find any numbers, letters, or a name anywhere.

 

[Tughill Tom]

I'll go$50.00 on it if you deliver.

It's just a little old cook stove. Thousands seems a but steep, but not my area of expertise at any rate.

My business partner and I purchased what looks like an identical stove minus the fancy castings on the sides. We paid $75 but that was 30 years ago. We heated a rustic 12 x24 cabin in east central Missouri. I can say that it was not very easy to regulate the flue or burn time of the wood. It worked out good for us the way we used the cabin and the more moderate winter temps compared to what we have here in central Wisconsin. We used the top surface for cooking eggs etc in the mornings, heating water for cleaning up.

The value definitely depends on the region, and the visual, plus working condition.
There was an old family run business in Thorndike, ME (Bryant stoves) that would recondition that stove and then perhaps sell it for $500+.
I believe the owners have now died though, and the business closed.
If you are in the Midwest, you may be able to sell it for $100,...... if you are very lucky.

I know you were being silly, with the thousands thing. But really and like said location has a lot to do with worth. I have seen Franklin stoves like that go for 10 bucks at some farm sales and then the next one you see went for 150 bucks. And some of the most wonderful days in camp were spent around a small stove like that. A real good find, and if you can enjoy it

here in Ontario I can't legally install into my house without it getting CERTIFIED by some 'wood burning appliance' certifier...THEN send that paperwork to the home insurance company where THEY then have to decide IF they'll add a 'rider' to my policy AFTER THEY also get 'paperwork' saying my chimney is certified....
even though I have access to 5 free bush cords a year, I burn 'bad' Natural gas.....

 

[skeets]

And my friend wants to know why I dont want to move to the GWN with her

 

[PoTreeBoy]

I'm just impressed it still has the eye handle with it. I see those heaters selling for $50 to $200 around here, but the handle is never with it.

We have 2 wood stoves in the house, I stopped using the smaller one because 2 fires have become a bit much to tend and cut wood for.
Both installed by me and checked by the fire department - I made all the changes they required of course.
Insurance knows we are within 10kM of the fire hall and that we heat with electric, wood backup.
It's actually about evenly divided between electric, solar, and wood.

if I had a cabin I would run this stove.

I'm amazed at its condition, it was sunk into mud in a corner but only has surface rust. My Mom likely bought it at auction. Dad hated when she did that. Haha.

Around here, home fires seem to be mostly divided between wood stoves and computer batteries, so be careful with those I guess.

Thanks for the replies, I will try to sell it.

My Dad had a hunting camp with a stove similar to that one. He brought it home when he "upgraded" to modern appliances. When I had a public sale of his possesions, the stove brought $5.00, probably about scrap price.

 

[sagor]

I had one of those stoves back in the 70's, working in the "bush" and it was used to heat our tent. It worked ok, but they were a dime a dozen in those days... Lots of creosote dripped from the pipes....

 

[radas]

If you change your mind and he gives me $100 and delivers it, I'll take it.

I can empathize!
I had a magnificent very large round freestanding glassed in fireplace, that I had custom built for me in Minnesota.
I installed it in my Atlantic ocean view living room in NS, only to find that I would need to get it WHETT certified (wood heat energy transfer technology).
What a crock!
I did not use it!
When I sold the house 3 years ago, I took the fireplace with me.
I paid $2,500, 30 years ago!
I never used it, and a Michigan E-Bay buyer is coming for it this month ($900).

I have a stove similar to the one in the picture without the artwork. I removed one lid and cut a piece of 1/4" same dia. Then drilled a hole for a 3/8" steel pipe which is welded in the hole and drops down a few inches. Over to the side on a bench I have the bottom of a water heater cut off and about 15" deep mounted on three legs. Line goes from bottom of the tank through a ball valve and into the pipe on the stove top.

Put drained oil in the tank and a 5 gal. bucket of wood chips in the stove, open the valve a tad, and have heat all day!

Sounds like a nice barn heater

They were selling identical stoves at Ace Hardware in the 1980s. I bought one for a cabin for about $200.

In Canada uncertified stoves have to be at least 4 feet from any combustable surfaces. If you tell your insurance you are using one they will probably threaten to cancel your policy if you don't remove it. You will also likely get a home inspection audit from your friendly insurer to look for other things to make you do in their acceptable time frame.

Does the stove police go door to door, or do they depend on neighbors to turn the offenders in?
