Yea yea. It's going in the basement as an alternative heat source. Super easy low maintenance. I realize it's not a kick ass coal stove, lol.... But it will still heat the basement good enough. Back to my question fellas! 😂😂😂

When the sheet metal surround was removed,the name & other info all likely went with it...

If you can't find any name or numbers on the front or rear....
It could likely only be identified by someone that had one...

Current value as it stands...... scrap.

My best wishes to you in your adventure with the pellet stove.

Bummer. Definitely nothing else laying around that could be part of it. I just took these, only numbers I could find at all. No other markings anywhere.

Probably a Homart Furnace. I found a link that has some info.
https://www.furnacecompare.com/manufacturers/homart.html
"Units of the Homart 600 gas furnace, the 600 boiler, and coal furnace that were sold in the 1950's and 1960's were still functioning well as recently as 2013, according to online HVAC forums."

It appears to be a old Ward brand stove to me. Had one years ago and long since gone
