We just bought a home last year and there is an old stove in the basement that says Penn Company - Lewistown, model 1259. It says that it is a wood stove but the people that lived here burned coal in it. Can you tell us anything about this stove? We have searched and can't find anything on it. Thanks.

That plastic storage bin looks awfully close to the stove. I guess you will be moving it before firing up the stove?
With no shaker grate and with a data plate on it I have to think it is a wood stove from the last 30 years. Give us a pic of it with the doors open.
It could gave grates in there bb i see a round cover on the ash pan door that could cover the end of the grate and air intake on the ash pan drawer is usually a giveaway for a coal stove or a really bad wood stove. But yeah a pic with the doors open will probably clear things up
