Can anyone tell me where I can get pictures and models of stoves produced by Derco/ Grizzley right before their close? I was a welder for them in 1977 in Blissfield, out on US223. I built quite a few, but I can't remember them all. As I remember, they were warranted for 25 years, all except for the Glass. I can tell you from experience they were well made, possibly too well made. Thanks in advance for the help.

I have an interest in the Derco stoves but, have not seen much on them regarding literature. I go on Searchallofcraigalist and it's a national craigslist search engine, sometimes you can find interesting stuff.
It looked like Derco had the right idea and the latest stoves I have seen were quite advanced. Too bad they did not endure. I found one near me for sale but, it must have sold.
We're the stoves with the Bear emblem on them the ones you welded on?

Unfortunately I didn't see the finished product before it shipped out the door. I do remember one of the employees towing a trailer behind a truck to transport them. I got laid off 20 days before Christmas that year, what a let down.As I remember, they were located right across from the grain elevators on US 223 just outside (south end) of Blissfield Michigan. Almost a lifetime ago.
