In the market for antiques and vintage things, stoves are no exception. Even vintage stoves can be resold for more than they originally cost. In the 1950s, the O'Keefe & Merritt brand was very popular, particularly in the SoCal era.
The LA-based company opened in 1920 and, at its peak, produced 500 to 600 stoves a day. Vintage O'Keefe & Merritt stoves had features like the “Grillevator,” which was designed for cooking turkeys and turkeys, and a built-in grill. Although the company went out of business in the late 1980s, vintage O'Keefe & Merritt stoves can be worth thousands of dollars on the market, especially if they are from the company's early years.
