I purchased this stove/oven today & know nothing about this particular one. Looking for any info, like date of manufacture, on this Martin Stove & Range Co. No. 8-16 Perfection Wood Cook Stove. Ive searched the internet & can find nothing. 1st pic I found on internet on Pintrest, with no info. Other pics are of actual stove. Thank You
I live in the tropics, but have always luved old cast iron stoves & heaters.
This site might help a bit for the time frame.

I own a perfection model (8-16?) Made in Florence Alabama. As close I can get to the manufacture date is a range. I'm fairly sure they were produced between 1905 and 1923. I hope this helps!
On the inside of the door that has perfection on it on the left side of the slide adjuster there is a number mine says 715 on the right side of the slide is the mark of M R & S Co.I think 715 means it was made in july of 1915. See if yours has the number
