Yes. They are the Black Oxide finish. It's not paint. Like vinegar or acid on iron, it produces iron oxide similar to a gun blue finish. They are in exceptionally good condition. They came with a pack of washers to put inside to adjust height to keep from rocking on an uneven surface such as brick or stone hearth. You don't see many of this type for sale.
It's the only set I don't have. Congrats. Good price too.

Thanks for all your info so helpful! Some people who have these dont know what the have. I first searched for fisher wood stove feet. And found the expensive ones. Then expanded my search to what some people might also call them or believe what they were. And bingo! Had a long week hoping no one else would bid on them. And got them for starting bid. Once again thanks for your info present and past posts ive read up on made me realize what a gem i have here for my home shop.

That's usually how I find stuff too. Been building a chimney up the the center of my house the last few weeks, so haven't had spare time lately.
My best set is the angled white brass polished set new in box! I found them posted around midnight with a $25 Buy It Now and hit them quick. The other sets I have came with stoves. Some as cheap as $80 with the stove from Craigslist. That was years ago. Notice the sets for 250 and up aren't selling either. That's crazy.
The set you found, I'd pay $100 for. Maybe $150 if my wife didn't know about it.
