We need to find out what kind of stove this is and if it is U.L. listed for insurance reasons.

It looks similar to a Fisher from what we have looked at but it has no labels on it of any kind.

If it has no tag it is not listed in the eyes of most insurance companies even if it had a tag you will have to prove it to them. But by the looks of it i doubt it is listed
 
UL didn't even develop a test standard for wood stoves until 1978. And it took a while to implement it and start certifying stoves. So the odds are that the stove was never submitted to UL standards testing.

Hundreds of local shops were making stoves a mile a minute during the energy crunch back then and most didn't bother with it anyway.
