Got an image? web-search turns up nothing on a C841 range,
and neither does that big onlnie auction site.
We don't "do" value, because there's no one price for an item.
Things are only worth what someone will pay you for them, at a
particular place and time....and in certain condition.
I bought an old *green* gas range about ten years ago, that
I thought would sell. My patient husband hauled it to five
antique shows, and the best offer I could get was $75 (half
of what I'd paid). The market for these is very specialized.
You can keep an eye out on eBay, and see what people
will pay for similar stoves (when exposed to a potential
audience of millions), but make sure you're comparing
condition-for-condition, as that counts more than the
model *unless* you have something colorful and truly
unusual.
Good luck with this - I hope it's not too heavy ;)
