Hey was just trying to figure out how much this stove is worth?
It is a 1908 Dockash made my Scranton Stove Works (Scranton, PA)
The kicker for me here and what makes me wonder is that runs on kerosene...
Any one have an idea of what its worth... and yes it works
And sorry about all the stuff on it
Did the Photos work... I tried to attach them but dont know

Photos didnt work, you may have to size them down a bit..

Something tells me it doesn’t look anything like the picture that KC posted given this description.

A 1908 cooking stove + kerosene + Scranton, PA …… doesn’t add up for me.
Even in 1908 cooking with kerosene would have been expensive.
In 1908 coal and wood was easy to acquire and at very little cost.
Scranton, PA, has been a monster coal producing area for a long, long, long time.
Thus the pictured stove was surely made with "coal" grates in the fire-box.
In a "wood only" burner the grates are about as thick as one's little finger.
But a "coal/wood burner" the grates are made different and are as thick as the base of one's thumb.
