When we were growing up we had electric heat, (mid 1970's) so my mom decided to get a wood stove from a local hardware store in Exeter NH The stove worked well for its day and was wondering what it actually was?
I do recall once the side door cracked and the replacement door never fit as the original.

We did eventually replace it with a early air tight model with a convection blower which was much more efficient but still nothing like today's wood stoves.

I cannot imagine it is worth a lot as it was not a classic old parlor stove like an old Glenwood but from a local hardware store.
