It looks a lot like a Warm Morning 120. My father bought two Warm Morning 120's surplus after WWII. They are good stoves but his rusted out around the base. They have cast iron and sheet metal parts and the sheet metal has a limited life span. The fire brick in the Warm Morning were custom made for that stove. If the brick are bad it is a big expense to get them replaced. I wouldn't bid myself unless I could inspect it in person. If it were a bargain maybe, but I think there are better stoves out there. I have two model 617-A Warm Mornings myself. I paid $40 for one and $35 for the other. They are heating my house for now but in time I'm going to upgrade. Stay Warm, Jonathan
