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
