Marc Posted October 26, 2014 Report Posted October 26, 2014 Found an old one today at a flea market. Looked like a Rheem and maybe Rheem made it but Hoffman's name was on it.

plummen Posted October 26, 2014 Report Posted October 26, 2014 It would make a cool conversation piece.
Bill Kibbel Posted October 26, 2014 Report Posted October 26, 2014 It's the same name and logo style I've seen on very old Hoffman water heaters (around 1920). They were all cast iron and manufactured in Ohio. It looks like Clayton & Lambert of KY bought the name and changed some of the parts to steel.
mjr6550 Posted October 27, 2014 Report Posted October 27, 2014 It had to have been made after 1926. Something I found in the past indicated that the AGA logo with the star may have first been used in 1929. I would say certainly pre-WWII.
