Measure the one you have to be sure you get the right size.
Message Camfan on this Forum and let him know what you need. He was a welder at the Fisher Stove fabricator in GA. and has some old stock left over. Here's the pics of what he has.

I believe his are missing the allen head setscrew that holds it tight to the 1/2 inch shaft, but they are available at hardware stores or message me if you can't find one.

Pipe cap damper knobs and ball end handles. What year would this stove have been made?

The stove was in a cabin when we purchased it. I used this site and it fits the measurements Grandma UL Unlisted pre 1980 with 2 square doors list. I can't find anything on the back of stove, found on the doors R G/M, and L G/M. So, if anyone has any suggestions on what else I can check on the stove to figure the year, would appreciate it.

1976 was the first year for that model, but the doors had stars with '76 on the right door and used a round rod for door seal welded to stove with a radius on the back of door to match the round rod. This one will have 1 inch channel iron door seal. So it is after 1976.
By then, the door handles were changing over to stainless springs and the 4 fin air dampers were already in use. A few fabricators continued to make their own pipe cap dampers cheaper than buying from Baxter Fisher at the time. The old style springs and 4 fin dampers are also time period correct for this year stove. They were no doubt using up old stock knobs and handles on this one. My guess, '77 or '78 with older hardware. The handle rod was also shortened by then, so this one has the older longer handles as well.

Thanks coaly. I find all the variations and uniqueness of these stoves fascinating.

By the way, I picked up a Grandma last week that has no weld markings at all on it. It's a non-UL labeled, probably made around 1980. Every other stove I've had has welded initials or numbers on the bottom but not this one.
