Fisher Stove but what is it...

[Jayma]

I want to sell this stove but am not sure what it is or how much to ask for it.

I understand this forum can tell about these stoves from the door design! Amazing, so I’m trying my luck since there are no tags or info any place on this stove. It’s been in our house since 1976 worked great but I’m not cutting wood!!

Thank you,
Jayma

Appears to be a 1976 model Grandma.

Can you post some pictures showing the top? Wondering if its a 3 piece top.
Also wondering what the door seal looks like, square or round channel?
Note the pipe cap dampers.

‘76 Bicentennial Grandpa. This was the first double door stove of the Fireplace Series. Grandma never had the first style large trees.
This will have round steel rod welded to stove front for the door seal.

The first post of this thread will identify, and give the history of Jake Jackson designing the double door stove.

FISHER Grandma and Grandpa Bear Details (Fireplace Series)

Since the Everything Fisher thread has so much hard to find information, I'll start a thread with detailed info on each model as I put it together. Anyone needing information on their Grandma or Grandpa double door stove is likely to find it here. Please ask if you don't find what you need ...

It appears in the picture the legs may have been cut down. They should be a minimum of 6 inches. The fabricator in VA was the Dunn Brothers and this pic does not look like their leg style. The angle is difficult to tell. It would also have chrome ball feet to adjust for uneven surface. Many were cut down to fit under hearth mantels.

Is the top one piece, bent? Also, does the vent come out the back?

Tags didn’t start until around 1980. Fabricators north and south of this one marked the stoves with a stove number on the bottom and state’s initials. Also the builder initialed in weld on the bottom for warranty purposes. If it came from your state, which it probably did knowing it wasn’t brought there at a later date, it will have no identifying marks on the bottom.

Price is whatever buyer and seller agree upon. No “book” value on classic stoves.
Close ups of welds, feet, top, back are needed to give you an idea of collectibility.

Thank you for the feedback. More pics to view. I didn’t realize it wasn’t cleaned out before my parents started piling stuff on and around it. Guess I’ll add that to my to-do list.

Those bricks on the right side are not a part of the stove. It should have bricks lining the sides, rear and bottom only. They probably put them in the firebox to take up space for a smaller fire.

Legs are only missing the ball feet. They could set right in the bear paw feet and look good without the taper the legs are supposed to have. Not all fabricators took time to taper the legs narrow at the bottom.

Great information. Thank you.
