Those holes are interesting along each side of the fire pot. Should get some nice blue flames coming from those.

That is a coal stove, shaker grates and vent in ash door are not for wood.

Sure would be a shame for someone to ever use that stove for burning wood!

As for a value I’m not your guy, sorry.

Want to sell it here?

Like many antique stoves it is for coal and wood.

Front loading door is for coal. The side door is for loading long pieces of wood. And the rotary damper in that side door provides secondary over-fire air for wood.

The row of holes along the top edge of the firebox liners is likely secondary air feed to burn off volatile gases - like a Glenwood base heater's gas ring. And that type secondary air feed may even allow use of Bit coal (soft coal).

Not sure of price as I've never seen one like it for sale.

$1000 seems a bit steep.
