There seems to be more than a few oddball franklin inspired stoves around New England. This one looks a little more conventional but still companies that ive never heard of before.
New to the forum and coal for that matter.

is or was that gas line to the left hooked to the stove as in conversion or was the stove moved and is just sitting near it ?
I believe it is just sitting next to it. The seller says its a "wood/coal" stove which we know is not usually the case since its one or the other 99% of the time. 1875 dated by a foundry out of Mass.

+1 You will love a stoker all winter long. Cast iron radiators keep a big house comfy no matter how cold it gets.coaledsweat wrote: ↑Mon. Jan. 20, 2020 3:42 pmI see you have radiators. Forget the stove and get a stoker boiler!
If you are able to spend 10 min every few days to feed it and remove the ashes its a great heat source.
Look at the BTU calculator and run some number based off last known oil deliveries. The savings are impressive.

The stove pictured above is a mica Cottage Franklin.
Coal only stove.
Should make quality heat and viewing pleasure.
It's been for sale for awhile.

The seller got back to me with photos of the inside of the 1870s stove.Sunny Boy wrote: ↑Thu. Jan. 23, 2020 3:43 pmIt might be a coal stove. With an ash drawer and primary air damper below the level where the grates might be (?) it deeper and looks like it could provide under fire air that the wood-only stoves that are close to that size usually don't have. Can't tell without seeing inside and the grates.
The handles down below are a skinny handle for the ash door sticking out on the left, and the slide damper handle in the middle of the ash door.

Im not too attached to the stove an i think it would be more trouble than not. Not to mention i cant imagine that its a very economical burner.freetown fred wrote: ↑Sun. Jan. 26, 2020 7:34 amLooks like something special would have to be fabricated for outlet--??????????

The iron firebox lining leads me to think it's a wood stove, but there are some coal stoves with an iron firebox.
Looking at the grate I can see it's shifted to the right under the side fingers, so it may be a shaker grate ?
Pretty stove, but if it is a coal stove, I don't think it will be as easy to use with coal as later designs are.

A rule of thumb when looking at Antique stoves.
Square ish stoves are wood and round ish is for coal. Holds true MOST of the time.

Hmmmm, learned something new today! Thanx M.
That was my thought but i questioned because the burn box looked like some earlier usually British coal basket inserts i have seen.
No luck on any good stoves that I want, however I did find a firebasket for a song in my adventures. Since i had the chimney cleaned at the beginning of the season I think im going to try and get a first basket of anthracite going tonight! Wish me luck!
