Wendell Lovett designed a similar firplace in the early 50's (although you might think it much later.) I believe a number of other companies created similar designs however in the 60s and 70s. I saw one of the similar ones locally in a Philadelphia shop last year that sold for $850 and it was a bright orange color. Very cool design!

They're not uncommon and seem to come on eBay about once or twice a month.
The price can be anywhere from $100 for a fair condition green one, to over $600 for a nice orange one.
I myself want one pretty badly, but I feel they're common enough not to have to pay through the teeth for. Here's a recent eBay auction for one that I lost:
