Not sure what I have here. I have it placed in the house approximately where I’d like it to go but still have to build a surround for it and am not sure on clearances and/or materials. Professional installers won’t help because of it being a tiny home and not subject to inspection where it’s located. I had an old parlor stove that I was originally going to go with, but members informed me it was far too big for the space, now approximately 480 sq feet. I sold it and found this one, only markings show NO 68.

Dimensions are top 20 inches wide, 14 deep. Height from floor to top is 20 inches. Legs make up 7 inches of that. The barrel part in the middle is approximately 9 inches in diameter.

I’m hoping this size is more appropriate for the space. Thank you!

The low height, and the angled loading door just below stove top, makes it a canning or laundry stove. They were built lower than other types of stoves so that women could reach into tall "water boilers" for canning, and/or, deep tubs for heating water for laundry.

Using the search feature for laundry or canning stoves will bring up other threads about that type stove.

Yep, that's it and a nice example too.
