Saw this one, advertisement title is "Vintage coal stove"

facebook /marketplace/item/740576839855981/

What caught my attention is it looks like the base, legs, ash door, and shaker handle are all sheet metal.
Looks like the only cast parts are the window frame.

When would something like this been manufactured? ... 1960s?

Hard tellin if that's a crack or shadow on rgt. lower side or just a cob repair job?? She's been used & other then that she seems in decent shape--if the price was right & I was interested--I'd ask for more pix--as far as date, I'm thinkin prior to the 60's. Just shootin in the dark G.

Barrels commonly were sheet metal but the rest may just be very thin castings ?

I would date it pre 1900s. The combustion area is brick lined.

Kind of looks like a "Daisy" or a Monkey Ward. The casting is too plain and thin to be pre 1900, closer to 1920 or newer.

Looks like homemade grates also.

Hey, your stove sort-a reminds me of one in my shed, that I still haven't done anything with. Think it's a Southern Robertson stove. (Mine, not yours.) Think I gave 50 bucks for it. Not sure of the era of either stoves, but I'm pretty sure yours is much older than the 60s, (If you're talking the "20th" century) ;)
