cast iron pot belly stove?

Question

I have a cast iron pot belly stove,but mine is a electric heater. The light and heater is in the belly of the stove. It has two controls one for the light one for the heater. It measures 26 tall 14 wide and 15 in depth. It weights about 70 pounds. Inside the bottom door it has the numbers 84115-7. That is all the information on it. I would like to know if this used to be a wood & coal stove or someone put I light and heater in it. What I need to know if this is a antique or a reproduction. If anyone has ever seen anything like this I would like to hear from you.

Summer,
I can tell you for sure that it once was a wood/coal burning stove, because they did not make those types of stoves with the conversion kit in mind. Once things were electrified, they no longer made the stoves. You would have to find a name on it, usually on the door or on the back. Once it has been 'electrified', it should be able to convert it back to wood.
