We've recently purchased a home, and are currently remodeling the kitchen. We've inherited a 1960's 35" Kenmore gas range/oven/griddle/rotiss... combo. It was functional until we disconnected it from the gas line to remodel. Our realtor told us he thought we could sell it for $$$$. Is this kind of thing valuable? Should we put an advertisement in the classifieds section/Craigslist? If so, for what price? Is it junk, and should we just sell to the local metal recycler? Can I get any money out of it, and how much?

My guess is, it's worth a lot more than the recycler will pay you. Think 50's chrome/formica dinette sets, they're getting pretty popular these days. As for value, you might want to poke around on Ebay and see if you can find something similar, and/or put an ad on Craigslist and ask for offers.

With all due respect it's likely an extremely NARROW market for a USEABLE gas stove 47 years old.
Certainly you can attempt selling; and if you don't mind NOT selling it; and can tolerate the ad expense; do what you feel.
I might certainly haul it to a recycler; or call the local historical museum; but I notice you created 4 $ signs. That could equate to $10.99 cents and MIGHT cover the cost of an ad?
If profit is your motive; you might get really creative and turn it into something else; then attempt selling. I wonder if your REALTOR might be interested? :)

Definitely advertise it, do a web search or reconditioned vintage stoves, ovens and fridge, you will be surprised the prices they get especially if everything is working on them and there are no chips in the enamel
