Please zoom in on first picture with the accessory to find markings of model number. I cannot find any information online. This is the first time in my life that I own something that I can find zero information about online. Please help identify this stove.
Thanks

The insert is over 50 yrs old. It's unlikely there will be much documentation for it still existing.

Thanks for responding. What characteristics are you seeing to determine age? I plan to restore it and put in a mobile home. I’d appreciate any advice you care to give. How do I get smoke from square hole out round chimney pipe?
 
Based on the design I am pretty certain that it is pre-1980. It definitely is not an EPA stove. There doesn't appear to be any secondary air system. Is there a baffle in it?

I would assume that for freestanding operation the stove had legs. Are they with it? I am certain that this is not mobile home approved. There are specific rules for putting a wood stove in a mobile home. As the label says, contact the local inspecting authority about restrictions and installation inspection.

Thank you for this I'm really in over my head here and getting more pics to share that will answer the baffle question. Have you ever heard of this particular model? Ever seen one like it? Its baffling me. This video is the mobile home I plan to install in. Itll replace the tent stove. How best would I protect the surrounding area in trailer? I understand its probably not an authorized set up but lets say I need to do it anyway. Any no brainer tips you'd advise?

You can see the scorch marks from the heat of the stove on the plywood behind it.

Edit: after watching the video I refuse to believe this is anything other than a troll post. If you are serious, dude you are going to burn yourself alive with that setup.

I used it through last winter but didn’t sleep with it or leave unattended. That’s my workshop to get out of weather. Lord willing I’ll be upgrading it with new one. The problem is I can’t find any detail about it. Any advise is much appreciated

There’s a part 2 of video on my channel, I added a wall thimble.

No that is not a wall thimble.

As far as installing this stove the listening plate provides all clearances and floor protection requirements. And you need a real chimney

Oh boy, um, no. There are safety issues on so many levels. The videos are a good advert for Bud though.
