Need some help getting rid of a Wedgewood range
My house came with a 30s (?) Wedgewood gas range. Here's a terrible photo:
It works.
I know these are collectible and it's worth a few dollars ... but I can't find the model number and I'm not sure where to advertise it.
Any hints about where the model number might be located? Craig's List a good place to sell it?
Thanks!

(26,117 posts)They might buy vintage stoves for refurbishing and re-selling. They should at least be able to tell you where to find the model number.
Google had this article that lists businesses in various US areas:

Several vintage Wedgewood models here:

I found this article, too, and I thought the range in the photo looks like yours (check out the knobs and drawer/door handles)

I love vintage appliances, and I dream of someday having a stove like yours!
On edit:
This one looks kinda like yours (from what I can see). And the site has a "what's the value of my stove" link, too.

Good luck! It's a beauty.

(21,691 posts)Long story, but the original brick wall (which I LOVED) had to be replaced and I'm hoping this one gets 'aged.' Upside to the new wall is I have more counter space (the Aga is 37" wide; a weird size).

(1 post)Does your stove work? I'm interested in buying it.

Here's the model plate:
