I sold them back in the late 70's and early 80's. They were a knock off of the Fisher. I use to pick them up by Scranton,at a town called Clark's Summit,if my memory serves me right. That is a good stove,brick lined,probably about 3 to 4 hundred pounds. There is no cat on it,so be careful of any ordinance in your area that might not allow you to hook it up. I have seen them go at auction and on Craigslist for as high as $450 .00. But the economy and actual price may be less because of demand . $300 dollars should be the less I would take for her,but that's me.(I would try for at least $500 and come down) I could be wrong but I do not think they were built to far into the 80's ma-be 84 or 85 being there last year. Lots of stove maker's went out of business during that time because of he new regulations from the EPA. Nice stove Good luck.
