Welcome to the forums. Greg !

Are there any stickers, name plates, model numbers, etc, some where to be found?

I believe it is an old Buck smoke dragon.

I believe it is an old Buck smoke dragon.

Every welding shop in the country was making versions of those things in the late seventies and early eighties. It looks like a old Buck Stove, a old Black Bart stove and a couple of hundred others. Which became only twenty makers the day the EPA regs went into effect in 1988.

UL required a manufacturer's plate on the thing and you will find it when you pull it out of the fireplace. Hopefully to send it to the scrap yard.

It's a Buck, the owner's manual for it is at that link I posted. Lol, it's listed under "Old buck manual" in the pdf.

You might be able to get it going, but you would be better served checking into the condition of the chimney and getting a newer, safer, more efficient, and less polluting stove, they aren't necessarily even all that expensive either!

Looks like a slammer too. You can burn a lot more efficiently, cleanly and safely by replacing this old beast. I wouldn't bother with resurrection.
