Can anyone confirm? Preway?

[McMom5]

Hi,
We just bought this UNUSED, pristine condition fireplace. It has a Preway tag with model and serial numbers. But I can’t find anything at all online- year, directions, pictures, etc.
Just wondering if it’s really a Preway as I’ve read they only produced the straight leg style.
Can anyone confirm that this really is a Preway? Any idea what year it may be? Any suggestions on where to find installation directions?
Thanks for any info!

It looks genuine. Just a guess on the age but avocado came in as a popular color in the 60s. Preway made many models. Some became more iconic and survived. Some had lower volume sales. There are pictures of this style out there and one with straight sides is for sale on eBay. Some of the full cabinet models were designed for mobile home installation.

That stove deserves to remain in its present state, unused. Although these aren’t rare, to find an existing one in unused condition is rare. In my mind this should be preserved as it is now.
