Found a atlanta works # 60 for sale and ended up paying 50 bucks for it. Plan on fixin it up, re painting, adding some rope gaskets to it and giving it a shot in a couple of winters. Guy said it was his grandads seems in decent shape no cracks or anything and everything is there.

I have one exactly like it. I paid 60 bucks for mine about 20 years ago. When I got mine it was all painted up fancy in an antique store. The first thing I did was get a fire going in it outside and burnt the paint off it. It's a good little heater. I used mine in a tool trailer I had set up with a small office. It kept it toasty. The biggest problem was you had to cut the wood real small. I burned mainly small wood chunks and a little soft coal. I always wanted to tighten it up a bit and burn anthracite. I don't really have a place for it now. Maybe some day. Good luck with it.

Yea found a couple threads where people relined them and got rid of the air leaks and had 8-12 hour burn times so figured for 50 bucks I would give it a shot.
