Very nice, high quality stove.
Red Cross Oak 314 or 15-16. Pic gets blurry on zoom.
The numbers are above the square little windows on upper most bigger doors.
The number 3 stands for how decorative the stove model. 1 would be plain Jane cheap model. 2 is more fancy. 3 is all the options available. The last two number are the size of the fire bowl diameter.
Made by Co-operative foundry in Rochester, NY around 1889. The patent date. That can be found just above the lowest door, in the flat section.
Looks to be mostly complete. Worth restoring if fire bowl is not cracked and the shaker grates are not broken or missing. Restored the stove worth $3200-$4200.
Stove has the double heater option, adjustable gas ring, single clam shell shaker grate with rotating round outer grate. Better pics will help with condition of stove.
Insides and Ousides.

Better.
3 is all options.
4 is 14 inch fire bowl.
34 series is about 1900ish. Changed styles a couple times over the years.
Burns coal great, wood is ok.
Good fire bowl,shaker grates. You got shaker handle and ash pan.
Gas ring and liner is good. Giant donut shaped thing inside stove just above fire bowl.
Only thing missing is double heater damper and grill cover. The oval shaped hole at the very top of stove. Just behind the statue. Not a real big deal. Oval hole in very back of stove is for chimney exhaust pipe.
You plan on restoring yourself or have someone else do that for you?
You live close to coal country, I had to snoop alittle...1.5 hrs east of me.
Ask questions?

Yes. Pipe elbow to transition stove's pipe collar to vertical.
Plus, it has a slide "check damper" used to allow cooler air into the exhaust to help slow down a wood fire.

Edit, made in Rochester,New York not Syracuse.
Grill cover and damper will take time to find. A recast from original will take weeks to months to get back.
Circle the top back oval in pic #4. Post the pic in comment section of your post in other group. Ask for possible recast of missing parts in the circled area. Might get help there. More traffic there on weekends.
Stove will still work good without it, till parts can be found.
I might have a the damper. Will have to measure it and get back too you. I have the number 86 one.
