Can you help me identify this stove?

[amsimone]

While cleaning out the garage, my sister found on old iron stove, apparently my brother-in-laws grandparents had this stove in their living room when he was a child, he does not know how long it had been there before he was born. It has a little metal tag that, as far as we can read it, says 143-422. It has four legs (so not a fireplace insert) and a flat top. See attached pic. I cannot find a picture of one like it anywhere on the web. HELP!

Wondering if this is a coal stove. Is there a shaker grate inside?

I will check, thank you. Does the shaker grate mean it is a wood stove?

A shaker grate is typical in a coal stove.

That was my thought too ...

We found this inside, I still don't know how old it is . . .

Apparently a Sear Robuck item...

Looks like yours is the plain Jane cousin of this one
