Has anyone heard of an Olympic Crest stove?

[shweebies]

I am looking at an Olympic crest stove as a 2nd stove for our house. I have never heard of it before, but it looks pretty good. It looks like a Vermont Castings - to me anyways.

Does anyone know about this stove or can give me advice of whether it is a good stove or should keep looking?

Many Thanks!!

You have a Vermont Castings Defiant Parlor Stove copy made in Taiwan. Check the rear fire back as most have cracked by now. If not, take it easy with it and it should give you good service. By the way - not EPA certified so in some states, installing that stove now could be an issue.

Yes, it is a old Defiant copy...almost exactly....

but, some earlier models may have been domestic????? Or something like that. Wasn't it Washington Stove Works from out west?
