  Hi Bill, can you post a pic of this stove? I can't find corresponding numbers that go to stoves ,with numbers you give ,in my Griswold reference books.
  If I understand your post it has two removable stove eye covers. Is it gas or wood burner? Does it have an oven? Any other Numbers on it?
  Just a guess from your description it may be a laundry stove.
  Value will depend on what it is, and it's condtion. Could be worth high $$, may be worth the price of scrap iron.

Bill,  like Ed said,  post a photo.   Does it say Griswold anywhere?   If not,  it probably is not a Griswold.   I don't see those numbers anywhere either,   but all is not found.

That is nice.   I don't have any info yet for you.   Does it have a front door that swings down?   I will keep looking in my reprints.

Well,  I found it.   It is a laundry stove.   It is based on there cook stoves,  but no oven and lower door.   Disregard that question.   I have never seen one.   Stoves don't bring lots of money.   But being odd,  it has some value.   I am going to guess $150-200 for it.

   Geez, I looked right over it earlier, and I looked thru that catalog twice.  :D
    I guessed laundry stove from the height Bill gave.
