I'm thinkin Harman was bought out by somebody R, can't remember who. Why specifically do you need the model number? Parts??? Just basic info??--plenty of that here. It's a real simplistic stove.
My wife bought it under impression from previous owner it burned wood or coal. I was on a woodstove forum, they suggested it was a coal, convertible to wood stove. I was looking for the model to get install guidelines. I've since discovered it's a coal stove, and the vent on top, inside is pretty badly warped. Not sure what to do now

What is warped, the grates?? Do they function? Does it have an external shaker handle? Ash pan in the bottom? Do you have a chimney to hook into? Pix of inside & sides would be real helpful.

Ya need to wire brush what you can & dose the hell out of it with WD40. Do the grates function?? external handle should work them back & forth.

Looks like it's one of those Harman cast iron coal stoves. I guess the guy you got it from was a wood burner and in a effort to get more heat out of that little stove he overfired it. That's one of the problems with burning wood in a coal stove, wood takes up more space so woodstoves tend to be bigger than coal stoves.

It's a Harman all right. Says so right on the door . However, it's not like any Harman I'm familiar with (Not that I'm any Harman expert). It kind of reminds me of the TLC-2000, But I don't believe it is. It looks like you can rule out the Mark series as well. Harman was / is a popular stove. Someone here will know which model you have. Fred is correct about Harman being bought out. Here is the link to the new Harman site. http://www.legacystoves.com/index.php?page=sf250-tribute Here it is.......... I think I found your stove. https://www.hearth.com/talk/threads/harman-e-cw30-the-only-epa-wood-coal-combo-stove-ever-made.18322/
