I recently purchased a "Charter Oak" wood cook stove, I would appreciate any information available. Chromed plate on front of oven door reads "REX". On the cook-top, in the back left hand corner, are the raised numbers "1881". I do not know if it is the year, or a model number. Some restoration is needed, however for the most part it is complete.

Just went to www.google.com and did a search on charter oak wood cook stove. Came up with http://www.antiquestoves.com/ as a reference. Didn't take too much time to go thru the site, but judging by the prices quoted for selling antique stoves, you might just want to sell it and buy something else.
