No. 
Appears to be made by a blacksmith, not factory mass produced.

Re: OT - todays find
Nice find. Like Dave said I have seen that before too. I am guessing off a windmill?

Re: OT - todays find
It is called a trammel.
It was used for hanging a kettle or pot above a fire in a fireplace.
It is adjustable for getting the pot closer or further away from the flame.
Not like a modern stove where the heat is adjustable, but does the same purpose.

Re: OT - todays find
Several years ago an ice storm cut off power to my house. Cooking in the fireplace got old in a hurry, and I ate in town a lot until I could use the stove again. 
The inevitable often happens.

I'll stick with propane or charcoal if the power goes out...

Re: OT - todays find
We live in a place where our power is something less than reliable, especially in the winter months... we eventually invested in a generator and propane, but until then we were all wood, all the time... our stove (a "modern" 1946 Monarch) is electric over wood... and many's a dinner we cooked over the wood side (fortunately, when there was snow on the ground, so the excess heat was not a bother).
Now that we have gas (wow, what a luxury!!) I'm looking for a Gas over Wood... unfortunately, a lot of those were "converted" to make them "safer" and they took the gas plumbing out of the oven (and sorry, I like wood, but not to fire up dinner when it's 80+ outside and fire season is running full tilt), so it's a matter of finding one that hasn't been messed with "for my own good".
I still think of this Spark a friend had that would have fit the bill, but I don't think I could talk her out of it!
