stove ?? need help

[thomo]

Hi members,

I am from Australia and doing up a wood fire stove for my sister. The information that I have on the back of one of the plates is 1925 UMI and on the oven door, there is a large cast iron letter 'R'. It has a cast iron cook top with 5 burners, enamel front panel and enamel panel on the shelf which is above the cooktop.It also has a copper water jacket on the side. I have searched everywhere and cannot find the make or any information on the stove. I am currently not able to place a photo on this website (computer troubles). Any information would be of great help
thank you
Tony

Just a wild guess, I am wondering if the big R stands for Reginald. The problem is smaller stove companies bought by bigger companies (I think Waterford) bought by bigger companies (Stanley) make it a bit hard to know. Some of these English and Irish stoves are a bit rare here. If a picture can be posted, that would help. In the meantime, here is an example of the Waterford/Stanley in case there is a remote family resemblance:
