Can anyone identify it? The company name or ID tag is probably behind it. I'm going to redo the room and replace the horrific tile work around it but I'm not ready to bust it up quite yet.
Also, is it missing a door or damper around the lower grate and ash pan? Like I said it works but I don't know how efficient it is or could be if it's missing parts. Any info. would be greatly appreciated

The op said it works as it is currently installed. Looks to me as tho it is a wood burner,maybe bit too ,the rod on top would operate the plate on back to vent it.ddahlgren wrote:Looks more like a display piece than anything else unless sitting there waiting to be installed.

With that open coal basket, I'm thinking it's an early bit stove too.windyhill4.2 wrote:The op said it works as it is currently installed.

This stove looks likes one of many fireplace heaters made by numerous companys. Pratt and Walker in Boston, Ma. made many as well as Portland Foundry in Portland, Me. Sears even sold a version.
Is there a cover plate that sits inside the rectangular ridge along the ash area and covers the coal or wood basket? It would have an adjustable air vent as well

Looks like you might be missing a finial for the top. What you've got is an open hearth coal/wood stove. You might be missing a screen too. The newspaper ad is from 1905 in a town called Indiana, Pa. It is the only such advertisement I could find, in the archives I have access to.

Was looking through one of my old books and found a similar style stoves. You can see the kind of covers they had over the grates. I am out in the garage and uploading fom my iPhone so the image will probably go sideways.

A big thanks to you guys for your input an information.
I just moved into this 150 year old house and the heat exchanger on the oil fired boiler cracked last week heading into the coldest weekend this year. I ran out and bought 200 lbs. of anthracite and fired this baby up Sat. morning. The back half of the house was a toasty 80+F most of the weekend. A few ceiling fans helped circulate some of the heat to the front of the house. This stove and a kerosene heater from the 80s kept the house and it's pipes and over a dozen cast iron radiators from freezing.
I'm officially hooked on burning coal. The kids all loved it too!

Just be careful with that kero heater. Many areas outlawed the sale of them back in the 80's for good reason. They put out carbon monoxide, which even in small amounts can get deadly because it can accumulate in your system. Good idea to invest in some CO detectors and have them well-placed around the house.

Yeah, I just moved there. Before settlement Use and Occupancy (code enforcement) does a walk through. There's a carbon monoxide detector in each bedroom and one on each floor as well as smoke detectors. The house also has it's original single pane windows with no storm windows. It's very drafty (which actually helps with ventilation too). The kero was very temporary and guarded carefully.
Thanks
