1976 Frontier wood stove

[Obucdow]

Hello, I was sitting here warming up against my wood stove in my shop, when a thought crossed my mind, where was this stove made?? I know the history of the stove as it was purchased new by my grandfather in 1976 "year I was born" in Grants Pass, OR The stove heated there home for 35 years until they decided on a new pellet stove. I had always admired it and told my grandfather when they were ready to replace it, I would love to have it! It sat in storage for 5 years until I was able to build a shop an install it. I spent the the morning learning the story of Bob Fisher & Jake Jackson, but my question is this one of the first Frontiers built by Jake??? I cannot find one earlier than 1977.

Thanks

Some friends have a Frontier in their log cabin. It hasn't been run hard, and will probably outlast them! The stove is a hungry beast!
