Welcome to the forum , medicmamma .

I sure do like the looks of your little stove .

Only thing I'd venture a guess at is that your stove was produced post-1918 , after they (the brothers Martin) formed the company with the same name as on your stove .

The history of the company sure has seen quite a few twists & turns , including a buy-out by employees of the iron casting business ; this does make me wonder if they'd re-cast earlier designs from 'archived' molds .

Wish I had more , but that's it for now .

Thank you and thank you! The crazy history of the company was about the only thing I could find also. Do you happen to know what something like this would possibly be worth without being restored?

If anyone could help me with any info you may have on a wood burning stoves. I have one that I cannot find any info online about. It's a single burner with "Martin Stoves and Range Co. Florence Alabama" and the door has a heart with 20 R on it. I've looked up the company with no help from them. Any information you may have would be greatly appreciated. Here are a couple pictures of it if that may help as well.
