What kind of stove is this..?

[Zsienkiewicz149]

My parents are remodeling their living room and we are trying to determine what kind of wood burning stove they have. The tag says "Kol Gas" but I can't seem to find anything on the Internet about it. Any help would be appreciated.

Wow that looks like an oldie, coal burner? does it have a grate system inside?

Like this?

Does it have air controls only at the bottom?
It would make an interesting flower pot / planter on the front porch.

Not that I'm aware of.

Interesting cylinder style stove. The grate makes me think woodburner. Looks like there are all sorts of heat transfer? flaps inside. Wondering if this burns like a Tempwood or the opposite like an sheet metal Ashely stove. Does the flue outlet just open to the top interior of the stove or is there a smoke channel to the bottom of the stove?

I think it just opens to the top interior...should I take a picture of down the flue. I am really a newbie and don't know that I know all the nomenclature of this burner

No problem, it's the first time I have seen this stove make/model too. It may be a simple parlor stove.

Someone told us it was worth a lot of money but I can't find anything about it on the Internet.

Search on Globe Stove and Range Company out of Kokomo, Indiana. Looks like Kol-Gas may be a trademark name of theirs. Date would be around 1920.

Later on they made ranges for Maytag.
