Hello all!
I'm new here.
My parents bought this stove in the 70's to use as decor on their back porch. I am interested in selling it.
The stove has been on my back porch for the past 10 years.
I'm fairly certain that it is not functional without some restoration.
It has beautiful decorative iron work. The doors work and there is even a tool for lifting the burners.

There is a manufacture mark inside the front door, but the first word is flaked off.
I did a rubbing.
The mark reads "-----ERY No 125 FRONT GRATE"
I'm guessing at the "ER" part. The last letter is definitely Y.

The stove is about 36" tall, 25" wide and 17" deep.

I'd like to find out the manufacturer, approximate age etc.
Thanks for any information you can provide!

It is an old coal parlor stove probably made around the turn of the century up untill the 30s or so. There were hundreds of foundries making stoves it will be hard to identify without more casting marks. Value is probably $75 at most
