Anyone have an idea on the make and or model of this insert. I am trying to look at it this weekend owners are not sure what it is.

After much exhaustive research I think its an Enviro Kodaik not sure what size yet. If it is would this be worth $200? Or should I just set my Vermont Casting Intrped on the hearth?
Are you sure? If it's an Enviro then it's an older version of a Kodiak. The current door is larger and less arched. Kodiaks come with different sized fireboxes. Do you know which size this is? Do you have any interior shots of the firebox? Does it have a secondary combustion system? If not, then pass.
Enviro makes a quality stove. If this insert is indeed a Kodiak with secondary combustion tubes and if it's in good condition, fits your fireplace and your needs then the price is good.

I looked at it yesterday no indication of brand or age no markings at all. The house appeared to be much newer than the insert. The owner said the company that removed it didn't pull anything out of the chimney probably a slammer install. Anyway it had squirrel cage blower motors on each side a lever on the that bottom slid out marked "HI LOW". It did take air in under the stove up the back and across the top front to rear thru a piece of rectangular tubing with multiple holes in each side in pairs of two that I guess is the secondary burn. After looking my guess was older Napoleon also.

The 1402 is a good, medium-sized insert. If there is no more damage than a cracked brick, that is a very good price.
Thank you Webby and Begreen I appreciate the help. I am picking it up tonight for $75.
Now that is almost stealing it! There is a fair amount of info here on the 1402 in older posts.
Picked it up this afternoon 3 cracked bicks on the back wall and bricks under thee door are rounded off the baffles are intact and in good shape. Its a little dirty may need to be cleaned but should be a good upgrade from my VC Intrepid I was going to install.
no liner I asked the the woman if they pulled out a large tube or pipe she said no. They had a reputable company install gas logs they may have left it in if the had one. I did not see there fireplace the insert was waiting in the garage but the picture she sent me looks like a pre fab. From the looks of the insert it had pipe or liner at one time in the flue collar.
Thanks, not new to wood burning just new to fireplace inserts I heated my old house completely with a woodchuck 2900
