    Cool laundry stove. I bet it will work excellent for your application. Not to rain on your parade but, if it was someone’s great, great, great grandfathers there would be a name in the casting on the front and the pipe would most likely be oval in shape…and the company would be long out of business.

    I was actually able to contact the company and verify the model at least. The model was developed in 1856 and made up until the early 1900’s. So I know it’s at least from early 1900’s. The flue is round but has an odd design and measurements to it. It’s 5 3/4” round so that should be fun. :whistle: The design isn’t like anything I’ve seen before though. It has a screw holding the back half of the flue collar in place. It’s split from the factory and comes apart in two pieces. Very odd. I’m not sure how I’ll seal it up.

    I am being a little secretive about the company and model until I can get the parts and be sure they fit cuz ya know internet I don’t want to give it all away and have someone else buy up the parts.

    At this point I am taking their word for it because I can’t find anything else about this stove. It would be great to find out more. I did find multiple forums of people asking about one model or another from the original company but no specifics.

    I assume the company has changed hands over the years and is not the same however they do retain the same name and even have inventory of old parts for old stoves.

    I am still talking with them about it so there’s more to come… I hope..
