I bought a house a year ago, it was built in 1910. upstairs, inexplicably, is this stove. from the looks of the narrow stair case I can't even imagine how they got it up here. The sellers couldn't get goodwill to pick it up and thus it became my stove.

I can't tell how it works, what fuel it would use, anything. it has no knobs on the front and the back has a plate identifying it as a quincy stove. Google hasn't given me much beyond that.

I don't want to keep it. I would like to sell and have no idea what to ask. please help! I would love to know anything more about it. thank you for your time.

Even at Free few might ever go to effort of disassembly and removal from upper floor...

You might have to take that beast apart and scrap it. You may be able to sell some of the parts like the lids and white parts but not sure its worth the effort. If theres a window you could throw the parts outside if nobody is in the yard.

From the pictures this stove was run on kerosene. There are 2 burners (each controlled by the rotary valve handles) instead if coal or wood grates. I saw these where I grew up in Maine and I believe they were discontinued in the late fifties or early 60s. I can't imagine anyone using it as configured, and agree it has scrap value only.
