Lebanon stove works

[Blazin56]

Hello, I acquired a stove recently and need some help finding into on it. It was made by Lebanon stove works and has the name Montana on it. Can anyone shed some light on this stove? Era, burning media, value?
Thanks very much!

I didn't find anything. Can you post a picture or two? What is the information needed?

Here are the photos. I believe it’s from the 1800’s but not certain. Looking for value and fuel type.

Looks like a small, late 1800s wood stove. The company was located in Lebanon, PA. They made several cooking and heating stoves, some were very fancy.

Why would it say Montana on it if it was made in PA? There is also a Lebanon in Montana. That’s where Cackle Hatchery is located.

Maybe the model name? There was a lot of romanticism and mining associated with the west in the 1800s. It wouldn’t be that unusual for a retailer to try to capitalize on it.

It's a small stove. It might have been designed to pack and travel for miners in the camps?

Maybe, but why would it be in Deleware? If produced for Montana, I'd think it'd be sold closer to there! If given the choice, I'd want to carry it as little as possible!

Delaware is pretty close to Lebanon, PA. A small stove like this could have gone in a cabin, studio, extra room, etc.

I think room sized heaters is a way undeserved market in the USA.

Yes, Europe has more of a sense of room and area heaters vs whole house stoves. Room heaters were more popular with architecture that consisted of closed-off rooms and a central hallway.
