It's pre-EPA and an unlisted stove. It can not be used for a new install in WA state. Is Port Angeles allowing a garage installation? Many jurisdictions don't.
 
Went to court house today. They said stove could be exempt if older than 1940. I cannot tell with what pictures I have. The numbers on this one, hard to view. looked online, saids pat. is on inside of door. I would probably be okay if I got some good proof.
Thanks for answering

g so quick,
 
Take some pictures of screws heads on it. Phillips head came in vogue after WWII.
 
I see mfg co on the lip. Who made it? Check dates the company was in business.

Exempt from what? Code?
 
It would be good to ask both the insurance company and the permitting authority if:
a) it is permissible to install and unlisted and uncertified stove
b) if it is permissible to install a wood burning stove in a garage
