hi, me too, i just bought a stove very much if not identical to this. i will be picking it later this week and trying to learn about it. do you know much about yours such as make, model, manufactuer, age, value, etc.? thanks,
@ jeff,I bought 2 of these stove in the 1980's from Monkey-Wards for around $120, still have one the other the legs got broken.
I just bought a stove that looks almost exactly like this one yesterday at a yard sale. Jeff, did you ever find out any information on yours? All mine says is "No. 21" on the front, and under the leg base, there is a "W 21". On the bottom of the fire box there is a "36" along with the words "Made in Korea". That's about all I have found. Also, mine has one more chromed piece on the top, in front of the large one that has the finial on it. Your finial is also a little different than mine, but the piece where you would rest your feet (?) looks exactly the same. the isinglass-mica screen holder (the chrome part) has a "notch" in it where the door handle comes through, and there is a separate screen that can be inserted so that you can leave the door standing open without risk of coals falling out. The decorative scrolling is on the upper part is also slightly different, but the scrolling on the legs / base is exactly the same. I paid $130 for mine, and it is by no means perfect, but it is perfect for what we wanted to use it for. =)
I just posted mine in the photo gallery, I am new to this site, and I think I am addicted already! I also realized (a little too late) that this photo wasn't Jeff's stove, but actually Groovyz'....oops!
