This is a Vermont Castings Vigilant wood burning stove.
The legal battle over this stove would eventually shutter the Franklin stove company, and make Vermont Castings the dominant force in wood burning technology.
My father came to Vermont Castings as this stove was readying to launch.
I was eight, and after school used to walk to his office in the old plant on Prince Street in Randolph, because my mom still worked at Wheaton College in MA.
