Found something interesting for sale locally and am curious if Fisher made any other "Sun door" designs non arched. Seller was calling it a Fisher Papa bear but that is obviously incorrect. The fire screen and the draft caps certainly appear Fisher in nature. I messaged asking if Fisher was molded into the door casting anyplace but they dont believe so., i told them to let me know if they find that. Thoughts? [Hearth.com] Knockoff or rare Fisher?

Looks like a Fisher knockoff. I've never seen that style of spring handles, or a Fisher stove without FISHER on the doors.

But @coaly is the Fisher expert:)
 
Looks like some kind of design on the door but not the standard Fisher design. I'd like to see a better photo of that.
Looks like a Fisher style screen pictured.
The handle springs are unlike any I've seen on Fishers but they can be replaced.
Any markings inside the doors or underneath the stove?
 
I also cant find any I do really on a stove I just hot . Looks like a Fisher papa bear . But says woodland on doors with squirrels on doors. ? Are these still fishers ? Or just some design different manual

Not a fisher just a guess but I would say it was a woodland. There were many stoves made by different manufacturers that looked like that
