This beauty is a fully intact coal wood heater that parallels the genre of thousands manufactured by a company called Estate. From the Spanish-American War of 1898 through two world wars and the Korean War a variety of these stoves were manufactured for a number of uses including the military. Their heating products were considered bullet-proof in that their stoves were meticulously and consistently over-designed and over-built under the most stringent guidelines. I grew up with one just like this one in our Milwaukee Army barracks in the early 40s. This heater is renowned for its 100% super-dense cast iron insides which are unmatched to this day. Measures 43 H x 25 W x 18 D [without rear flue collar]. Because this stove was designed and built to burn coal it will with proper use last generations as a woodstove.
