Is there any collector value for a 1896 vintage Wedgewood wood burn cook stove built in Newark, CA by JAS Graham and sold to the Darling family from a San Francisco Appliance store in 1896. It is complete and in very good condition. How and where would you get a appraisal on the west coast, I see a lot of places on the east coast?

I do not know where to tell you to go for an appraisal of your stove , but I can say it is a very nice stove and it is in very good condition . I love it . I also know that there are people out there that would love to own such a nice stove . I have a wood cook stove , but it is nowhere near as nice as this one .
I used this company in Dec. to get info & appraisal on my stove. He is in BC, he has links on his site to US appraisers as well. Well worth the few dollars spent.
