Default Where can I find one of those old cylinder / cannon / barrack room stoves?

I am looking for one of those very old stoves, I am not sure what they
are called; perhaps cannon stove, cylinder stove or barrack room
stove. They stand about 1m high x 25cm wide and feature a hot plate at
the top and a flue pipe at the rear, just under the hot plate.

Can anyone advise where I might get one? Condition is unimportant.

Not quite.

The style I want is more of a 'diet' design from the 1930's, i.e.
without the pot-belly. Just like a little rocket. I can see why
somebody suggested it was called a 'cannon' stove. Apparently they
were very popular in their day.

They might have been made by 'Cannon' - I think they still make stoves,
cookers etc.

Can anyone identify what it is or who it was manufactured by? This
photo was taken in Berlin, Germany.

These are a bit nicer, don't you think?

Well I guess Nicole Kidman must have got a bit chilly flouncing around
that rooftop boudoir in Moulin Rouge without her vest on. If you have
to heat a Belle Epoque knocking-shop, they'd be just the ticket.

ICBW but I *think* the manufacturer, Godin, is owned by Baxi-Potterton,
ISTR reading that in the reception to their Business Centre.
