HELP: What is my stove worth? This is my Chambers Black Gas Stove model 15B, with all part and pieces intact and in partly working condition. I believe this stove is very rare not only in part due to the color, black, but with its deco chrome legs, folding black cover, chrome ridged stove top, backsplash that include a built in timer, light and salt and pepper shaker/ holder all in one.

I have not seen anything like it out there in pictures or for sale. This stove could be used as is, partly or fully restored depending on preference. It shows some age and the chrome is not perfect but overall in good shape.

I believe all the parts to this stove are there. Last time it was hooked up at least two of the burners were working (I used it) but I think the stove might take some more work to get it working safely. I'm interested in selling this very cool rare deco Chambers black stove but have seen prices for others (that are not as cool) vary greatly and have not seen anything quite like this stove.

I'm actually first looking for help on what this stove is worth. Can you give me your input on what this stove would be worth/ a fair price for it as is? See pictures and feel free to ask more questions if needed. (Note: I'm not interested in selling parts of it, it will be sold intact).

It is 1933-1936 as the control labels moved from cast into the thumb levers to painted above in '37(most likely Great Depression cost cutting). 1932 model was the Martha Washington with the burners on the left and a double stack ovens on the right. '38 was the last year of the Artdeco backsplash as the 15B, which did not have an Artdeco backsplash, started in '39. I've never seen that light at top the backsplash nor Artdeco legs before so not comfortable with calling it 11-A model but it is mostly an 11-A-22 model. Lovely piece. Quite likely Henry Ford's model T had an influence on it being black.
