My friend passed away recently and her husband is looking to sell their Waterman stove. It is small and from the early 1900’s Can you give a ballpark price for this?

Somewhere in the $5 to $500 range. Sorry if that sounds like a flip answer, but so much depends on condition, condition and condition which can only be evaluated via lots of photos or an in-person assessment. Almost all old stoves need some degree of work which is expensive. Interior rust is common and not easily seen at a glance.
There is also the small matter of visual appeal. Not all Waterman stoves are in the category of “desirable vintage appliances” like the Chambers or O’Keefe & Merritt.
Hope this helps.
