<p>[QUOTE="verybrad, post: 389575, member: 37"]After searching awhile, I am starting to see your problem. I am not finding any similar gas stoves of any brand. Most are not ornate, nor do they have the triple doors yours has. You may need to contact a specialty dealer and pay for an appraisal if you want anything halfway accurate. However, what good is an appraisal for X amount if you can't ever find a replacement? </p><p><br /></p><p>Thing about antique unrestored stoves is that they are cheap to buy out in the field, so to speak. In restored condition, from a specialty dealer, they can be very expensive. Personally, I might insure it for an amount that would buy me about any replacement out there.
