Cleveland Stove Company Query

Anybody: I have a chance to purchase a Cleveland Stove Company No. 21. My guess it is a wood burner, but maybe a coal burner. Is anyone familiar with this stove? I would like to get an idea of what it is worth.

You have a picture?

I suspect that if it has grates & a way to shake them, it's coal.

Anyone:

Things slowed down enough after the holidays that I finally got some pictures of the Cleveland Stove Co. No. 21, attached. There seems to be very little on the internet about it. Grates area appears to be empty, but I will be doing a closer look and maybe I can figure it out. My friend is willing to sell it, but I'm trying to come up with a fair value to begin negotiations.

This stove is classified as a, "Cottage Heater." It is a wood stove. It is not made to burn coal, it is strictly a wood burner. I would date it somewhere from the 1880's or 90's. This design of stove was made for small rural houses where there was no access to coal. Many thousands of these were sold up until the early 20th Century. As coal became available due to the expansion of the Railroads, these stoves were made in fewer and fewer numbers. By 1900 very few people, except in the most rural areas burned wood.
