Hi gang. There's such a vast wealth of knowledge on this site, I thought I'd see if any of you have insights or experience with antique parlor heaters. Last night I picked up an old parlor heater locally, and am looking for any and all information I can get about it….approx value, age, restoration tips, rarity, websites, history, etc. It’s from the Jewel Stove and Range Co by Detroit Stove Works, says ”Garnet Jewel” on the front, and “No. 1” on the back. I can get a better look at it in daylight later today. It looks to be complete, has some fancy details, mica glass window is intact, and it’s just cool! I found a Detroit Stove Works catalog from 1907 that had this model in it, so it's likely over 100 years old. Other than to find out more about it, I don’t really have any immediate plans for it. Any help or guidance is appreciated.
Here's a pic I found of the same model that's in better condition:
