That is. Do you know which model? When I lived in Alaska, we had a Fisher Mama Bear. Looked exactly like that. It was a great stove. I liked the two air intakes. I burned the fire from one side to the other and back. Doors came off real easy, so you could have an open fire. We cooked on it. Put a pot on in the morning, it was like a slow cooker. Heated water for baths. Cool picture. Really brings back some good memories.
Looks like an early bent top. Before they settled on the more comon angle. The early bends were rather steep like this. A side picture will tell you for sure. I'm sure a few 3 pieces were built, but I though all the grand parents were bent top. Owl
Sorry I'm late! Somehow I missed this... Is the top "bent one piece" or welded together? I can't quite make out the pic... It looks like it's bent, if it was three piece the top would be overhanging the 60 degree angle and welded underneath and the lower plate would be welded to that. It looks like the "standard Grandma"
I actually found another 1976 bi-centennial star addition I'm going to buy next week. They are getting real scarce.
That "white" on the doors and top is saying it was "VERY HOT" at one time or two... It'd make a good garage unit or donation to a hunting cabin or such!
The original poster pic is a much newer stove. Notice the small trees compared to the first style in '76 below. It also has newer spring handles and the very last draft caps with 5 fins. None of that existed during the 3 piece days. The only way you'll find double doors with 3 piece tops is fabricators without brakes large enough to bend them for the wider stoves. 3 piece tops were dropped long before double doors started in '76. Mostly found on the first single door stoves with pipe cap dampers. Here is my '76 Grandpa with 3 piece top; Notice the horizontal flat pieces overhang all the way around and the center step piece is only as wide as the stove body; 3 piece Baby Bear before and after;
Here's a 3 piece Papa that got hot. No damage done, just the paint. Actually Bob Fisher's own stove had a few white spots as well as the pipe, but he burned a lot of Fir.
