insides, close-ups all sides, etc. She's a purty one!!she is purdy, but mine needs a lot of work. (stole the pic from the internet of one same as mine, in my original post)
ok so here are some mroe pics, inside, and some close up's. would be very interested to find out who made her
its going to be a big job restoring her, but it will be worth it im sure. this morning I hit her with the wire brush and now im exhausted.

It appears the fire pot has holes in it and I don't see any grate. Both pretty serious things.

You have to wonder about that large skirt around it, whether it served a use for something, or just to transfer heat and looks. Neat looking stove, thats for sure.

Hate to say it but, I think you have a flower pot. Its likely you will not find the foundry that made it there were hundreds of foundries that made stoves.
