There is a market for everything antique and vintage, and stoves are no exception. Even vintage stoves can be resold for more than they originally cost. In the 1950s, O'Keefe & Merritt was a popular brand, particularly in the SoCal era.

The LA-based company opened in 1920 and produced 500 to 600 stoves a day in its heyday. Older O'Keefe & Merritt stoves had features like the “Grillevator,” which was designed for cooking hams and turkeys, and a built-in grill. Even though the company folded in the late 1980s, antique O'Keefe & Merritt stoves are worth thousands of dollars on the market, especially if they're from the company's early years.
