Can anybody date this antique stove?

I bought a 1790 house and this coal stove was in it. It's definitely very old (not a knock off) I can't find anything on Penn Coal stove company or any dates. If it's close to being original to the house, I'd rather keep it on the property. Attached is a photo of the same one.

Just a guess, but it may have been made by Penn Stove Works out of Lancaster, PA, though I saw plans for a major factory in Philadelphia too.

The stove itself looks like it is a Penn coal stove. There is a 5 part you tube series on this stove burning.

No way. It looks like early to mid 20th century
