Nice find.

I have had no luck finding info on it, I'm wondering just how old it is.

I have tried every search term i can think of, I got one hit for some pay for info on what your item is worth site . it was manufactured by elco company out of Dallas texas.

See if there is a phone number in the brochure and look up the phone number. They may still be in business but no longer manufacture the stove.
