Well I’m not sure where all of my text went so here goes again...
Does anyone know where to get an oval to round adapter for this type of stove? My local fireplace shop said that the outlet is an odd size due to the stove being vintage... they also said that I may have to find someone to make an adapter for me.
Also can someone tell me if the adapter would mount to the inside or the outside of the outlet?

It should go inside i would try a peice of 5" pipe. Also you do know that is a coal stove right?
Thank you... and yes it was made between 1925 and 1935 by a company called Navicola Castings Inc. They made this model and a larger Parlor model for Montgomery Ward during the decade I mentioned.
The person who restored the unit has done a few things (restricted some of the venting, used thicker metal in the belly) to make it more wood friendly, and has advised me on how to set up the firebox for burning wood.
I am fully aware that it will never be even close to the efficient wood burners of today, but for $300 it will make a great secondary heat source, and an awesome conversation piece.

Ive got a antique parlour stove, the top looked like yours, I got lucky, i was able to slide a 7" round pipe over the oval outlet, it fits perfectly.
