I do believe it is an Efzet toy stove from the Gustav Fischer Blechspiel und Metallwarenfabrikwer from around 1900-1910; there was an explosion and fire at the factory in November 1910 so most likely prior to that. The Efzet company specialised in tinplate toys for doll houses. There were similar pressed sheet metal stoves produced by both Marklin and Bing at around that time featuring the same cream coloured body and flat pressed steel legs, but both Marklin and Bing produced stoves with slightly more ornate detailing than this

There is an identical Efzet stove photographed for an exhibition of Zoblitz sheetmetal toys at the Serpentinstein History museum in Zöblitz; I have included a copy of the advert- last photo
