Honey Bear design from North America IF prior to 1988 when the original Fishers were produced there; See spec brochure below to measure size. (Baby, Honey, Teddy) Goldi is mobile home approved with intake through pedestal only.

The oversized ash shelf without holes in front corners identifies it as NZ built.

There were a few models, and changes over the years. They all use firebrick and all had a baffle. Early models had a round plate supported on rods, hung from the top. Later models have angle iron supports welded to the sidewalls. They are angled higher in front than rear. It probably has that type.

There were leg, pedestal, and conversion models (removable pedestal) with an outside air inlet kit. Is there a rear shield bolted on with 4 bolts on the rear at corners? NZ tags were purple in color. If missing, look for rivet holes where tag was attached. Stickers were used on the pedestal of those models.

Here are the specs for this style stove made there;

Is this the style of legs? (NZ Honey Bear with Fireplace Legs)

Pics of the bottom, air intake slot across front with doors open, pedestal, if the open type in rear (3 sided pedestal) would help.

To complicate matters, Fisher became Fisher Traditional and continued production after closing in North America. Models were actually named after streets, called the Blenheim, Charleston, Denniston, and Hanmer. I have all the manuals for these models saved in pdf format if needed.

Is there a water back, or pipes on the back? In NZ this was called a Water Booster.
