New to this site, but signed up for a particular reason. My wife and i just purchased our first home. Being novice and young we didn't think to ask to many questions. To get to the point is the fireplace in the house. The kitchen has a wood burning stove we use regularly, but the living room has a cast iron insert, at least that what i am lead to believe. The base has the wording "Quakertown Stove Co. Philadelphia, PA". It also has in the midsection "Lombard insert" stamped on it. Last, the foot pedal (or at least i think its a pedal, wraps above base about 6" above ground" has "1884 N.B." stamped on it. We have been trying for the life us to figure out its 1) age, and 2) if that it the real manufacturer of the piece. I say piece because it has many intricate details, even clay ceramics embedded. It has about "doors" that you can open to get to all parts of it.
Any thoughts? I would be more then happy to send photo's to anyone who might be able to help!
