It looks like an old Portland Stove Foundry design. By the looks of the rear wall casting, its best used for display or on a non flammable floor as it looks like there is some sort of flaw in the casting

I've seen worse. At least it doesn't appear to have had a lot of use. Oh what the hell? Hook it up. Run it, see how it goes.
