its a upright cylinder coal/wood stove. Made in michigan, by E. Basset Brothers (?). Manufacturing. Does any one have any info on that stove/company? there own design or a sub out builder for another ocompany. my sister got one in house she bought, its not hooked up, grates seized, no handle for grates, no lining in burn pot, or double wall steel burn chamber. She thinks it worth a few thousand, I said don't excpect that much, its need to be torn down, and resealed, fire chamber lined, grate system repaired, and micas shot. Has lower slide draft on ash door, also an upper draft knob above burn pot, not working(seized). It seems as if its a very loose as far as air, tigthness of front chamber door to cylinder, draft door has lots of slop in in/out play so it would still draft even if drafts closed down on bottom. I would buy it for a couple hundred bucks but thats all.

Got home late, long day yesterday, name I think is E. Bennett on stove.
