    Hey guys I was wondering if anyone had any information on what I believe is a
    Early station metters stove/fire possibly early late 19th to early 20th century. Any information would be appreciated..

    Hmmm.... this sounds Australian. I found several Metters stoves online, but not a one like yours. I did find many sites with history of the stove manufacturer, Metters Limited originally founded in Adelaide in 1891, then Perth in 1894 and finally of Sidney in 1902, Australia.

    I believe your type of stove is sometimes referred to as a box stove in the states.

    Sorry, I had no specific help for you on the stove. Hopefully someone will come along with help.
