What kind of stove is this?

[tracy]

Hello!

Can anyone please tell me what kind of stove this is, what it was for and whether it is worth anything? It is not CSA approved, but maybe I could sell it in our buy and sell to someone who may wish to refinish it and use it for a decoration in the yard?

Thank you for any info you can provide me!

I would say it should be called "Larry Down At The Welding Shop On Third Street - Model One."

Not legal to install for heating a house anywhere in the Northern Hemisphere and dog ugly for a yard decoration.

Ha! Ha!
My husband thinks it was home made, too!
Our house was built in '69, so it may be that old. I guess at one time it was in our living room as a heater.

I would call that the Oogly stove. Looks like an Orley prototype.

Would look good in my ice fishin hut.

......yeah.........looks like something a friend of mine threw together to heat his garage when he was rebuilding his GTO

Concur, that it is not a named model....

I think this is a very early Orley Stove. The end door and flat cooking surfaces were "signature" traits of his stoves. May have been a new install with the house construction. These are heating monsters. They were built in Oregon and saw only regional use, but they were certainly well made. For a utility stove, they are certainly very good, but would not likely pass any inspection standard. This was probably built when the Oregon standards were the state of the art, so it might be equivalent to an EPA -I standard, right?

Darned if you aren't correct. Was Orley's first name Larry?

Regardless of who made it, it might the ugliest thing I have ever seen. Would make a really kickin' smoker though I bet.

As noted, an early Oogly Orley.

Say that 5 times fast.

Those were made not too far from where my dad lives. He always talked about them once I got into the stove business. Never seen one though. I went to a stove store called Orleys in Oregon, it was a nice shop with really nice people.

Ok, I'll bite. What's 11-Bravo?

Army Military Occupational Speciality identifier for infantry. Boots on the ground, rifle in the hands, ruck sack bouncing on the butt. The base MOS for everybody in the Army.

The guys that always end up gettin'er done after all of the heavy duty pyrotechnic light show stuff is over. Our job in the Chinook outfit was to make sure they got there, keep'em supplied with food, water and ammo and get'em out of there when they needed to.

The old hat is off to each and every "grunt" there is or ever was.

 

[BrotherBart]

nahhhh... my secondary was a 12B.

And your primary that they gave you coming out of Basic was? 12B is now 21B.
