Vintage oven: how much is it worth?

[sedwick1024]

I have a 1957 built-in Frigidaire RBW-90 wall oven with French doors that I replaced in kitchen remodel 6 years ago. It cooked food just fine, though I can't remember if the timer(s) worked. I'd like to see it get a good home for a fair price and was wondering what I should expect in that regard. Thanks...

Well,

If your offering were in perfect and pristine condition (i.e., just as new) and you found a buyer who has been looking for this exact item for his/her MCM kitchen, you could expect to get maybe a small fortune for it.

 

However, if your offering has problems and is less than pristine, and the general population has lost it's fascination with built-in wall ovens and surface units (which I think we more-or-less where we find ourselves today), you probably could only expect to get a scrap metal price.

 

All scenarios in between constitute an infinitely-adjustable sliding scale.  In other words, I'm not aware of any Price Guides for vintage appliances.  Best to you with your sale.

I tell everyone the same, when it comes to a vintage appliance. $100.00

To the left of the oven .......

is that the matching cooktop next to it ? Does the clock work ?

There was a cooktop, I stupidly set it on my terrace before I learned of listings exceeding $1000! I don't think the clock works.
