What do I have here?

[Curiously Clueless]

I bought my house and it has a Fisher Woodstock in the living room. I am curious to if it is of any value.

The price is whatever the buyer is willing to pay. Generally these stoves can bring in $500 or more in a hot fall market.

One thing to change, get rid of the stack robber on the stovepipe. They are creosote machines. The stove is the heat maker, not the stovepipe. If the stove is missing a baffle, that will help it put out more heat and run more efficiently.

Looks like a homemade box that someone got a hold of Fisher doors.

We need pics of inside of doors to see if they are marked GM/L and /R, door seal, and firebrick retainers. There are too many things, plus the overall dimensions to be a correctly made Fisher product.

In which case, the value just dropped a lot.

That's what i think I found out to the doors do have GM L and GM R. And it has the feet, but from all the info I can find, It's to wide for the stove itself to be a Grandma Bear. I know someone might want the feet, but wondering about the doors? Or if I would be better off selling it all together?

A few fabricators made what I call a wide body Grandma. When the width is correct, the door hinge plates are welded on the angle iron corners. They are cut on an angle, angled outward, away from doors so the hinge plates actually stick out from the sides. They had to weld onto front plate to reach doors in your case.

The ash fender (shelf) is not cut with rounded corners to correct radius and top plate does not appear to have correct radius on corners. The legs are not tapered at bottom, but not all fabricators made legs to specs. This doesn’t mean it wasn’t made by a licensed fabricator, but all these inconsistencies on the same stove doesn’t add up.
