antique stove ?

We have a cute little cast iron stove that we are trying to find out a little more about. It is only 13" wide by 19" deep and about 2 1/2 feet tall. It has a mural of a man panning for gold with his mule tied to a tree behind him on each side of the stove. The pipe comes out the back, but also has a lid on top that is screwed in place that looks like it could be for the chimney too.
We would like to find out what kind of stove this might be...just for curiosity sake mostly and then also what type of chimney pipe we should use with it.
Thanks
Trisha

Visit http://hearth.com/ and post a pic and what you know of the stove...i'd almost guarantee someone there knows all about the stove. I have not seen very many forums where there is as much traffic and help as the one on hearth.com. good luck

The one we have looks very much like this one at Vermont Castings http://www.vermontcastings.com/aspen.asp
Only it doesn't have the glass front and has the mural on the side. I bet ours is just an older version of this same stove.
Still would like to get more info on it...such as how things go on the inside (fire brick and metal heat shields etc)
