Cleveland Co-Operative Stove Company
Never in a manillion years did I think that I would search for something on the web and not find what I was looking for. It is exciting and frustrating at the same time. It has become a temporary addiction, which resulted in 5 hours of research in one night alone.
Why am I looking for info on an old stove…because my Grandma has one and she wants to see what it is worth. Sounds easy enough, but it hasn’t been so far. I’m starting to think the rare 19th century Grand combination range made by The Cleveland Co-operative Stove Company that she has is more than vintage. I know the company existed and I know that maybe 2 other people wrote about having one…so what I want to know is what is this thing worth? I guess this is where the Antique Roadshow comes in…
If you know anything about this stove…leave me a comment!
Here is what I found:
Theodore Migchelbrink invented it and it was patented on June 17, 1924 - see actual patent pdf

I have one of these grand stoves. Any idea what it is worth and where I can sell it?

I have one, and I’m actually looking to get it fixed to use it. I bought it for $70 at junk store 2 years ago, so I don’t think it’s worth much.

My father has a Cleveland Co-opertive stove, it has XL Excels and the letters IROBERTSHAWI (I think) on the oven knob. I am unable to find anything about it, he is thinking of selling it. Looking to find worth, etc. It is mint green. Can not find date etc on or anything on the web, looking for help also Thanks

I don’t know that much about the company, but I’m looking into them. I just purchased a Grand, model 850, which appears to have been made in the 1940s. I saw their address on the stove data plate, so I thought I’d drive by the location - I posted an entry with some photos over on my blog. I’ll post more as I’m able to learn more.
