What Year Was This Fisher Made?

I've seen Grandpa Bear stoves with tall trees and stars, with & without the 76 on the right door.

But I don't recall seeing any Grandpa Bear stoves with tall trees and NO stars. Was this made in early 1976 before stars were added, or late 1977 after they stopped putting stars on, but before changing over to the short trees? Or maybe there was a foundry that used the tall tree design without stars?

I found this picture on the internet, so I have no information about this stove.

You will find all sorts of oddities coming from where that stove is from. It is a California stove. They did things their own way out there and still do. Nothing against the seller, he does fabulous work. They just aren't original.
They are '77 doors. Newer bent handles, could be original long straight handles bent like newer stoves, and new springs.

For the rest of the world, The '76 doors were the first. It was easy to fill in the pattern to eliminate the '76 in 1977. Then fill in the stars until the large trees were dropped as well as the round door seal rod very shortly. (thankfully) It was also close to Jake Jackson's business, so there are some adaptations in that area that caused the fabricator to part ways (peacefully!).

Thanks for the info! You mentioned in another post they were using a few (maybe 4) foundries.
