Looking to sell my Fisher Grandma. It’s been sitting in the barn for 4 years now not being used. It was my dads from the 70s. Has screen and bear claw feet. Any idea what to sell it for?
Ok, It looks to be in the "normal" condition for it's age. Shack made a point, I will buy the feet but not the stove, got plenty of those. Now, if you put the feet on e-bay, you'll see prices as high as $350.00 for the feet in perfect condition. There were two different styles on the feet, the straight kind, "like your's" and the 45º feet. IF you want to PM me, we'll discuss futher, As far as the stove, a "Fair" asking price is $400.00 and if you get $350.00 you're doing fine. If it were a "76" Bicentennial edition, you could tack another $100.00 on that. Craigslist has prices all over the place, and e-bay is even worse. When I bought my last Grandma stove the guy said it was on Craigslist for 6 months before one phone call and that was me.
There were actually 3 patterns for the straight feet. Cast with iron, this set is without hair detail, chrome plated with "Fisher Stoves". Another does not have "Fisher Stoves". Some have a hole in the bottom to remove from mold, others are solid. They were available chrome plated or black iron oxide finish a dollar cheaper. (Chrome was 3.50, black was 2.50) The third type was later cast with iron and has hair detail. They were white brass plated. Angled feet were Zomak (white metal) for better detail and white brass plated. They all came with washers to level stove inside them. (they were sold as levelers instead of adjustable chrome ball) I don't want to bid against Dave, but this is the only set I don't have. I have the stove too, it was a freebie that helped start my collection.
Well this one is the most difficult to find in good condition. Woodman's had a bunch of used stuff years ago they sold on eBay. Back then I had a $100 limit on them and lost. These went for 265. Dec. 2015. Another variation is they had the phone number on the bottom. Only saw a half set like that come up once. These are the Black Oxide that sold for $178. These are the last cast iron version I got from NH in 11-15. They are new and haven't left my desk. White brass plate over cast iron. $163.50 +8 shipping. They have doubled in the last two years! Another thing I polish with that Maas and a Q-tip.........
