StevenT Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 How old would you guess this boiler to be? Image Insert: 56.9 KB I'm feeling 40 years... more?
Jim Katen Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 The overall massing (shape) of boilers didn't change much from the '50s through the early '70s. This one could be anywhere in there. A close-up shot of the logo, gauge, etc might help to pin it down to a closer age. - Jim Katen, Oregon
Bill Kibbel Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 That's an American Boiler, manufactured in the late 1940s to early 1950s. The circulator was added later.
StevenT Posted August 20, 2008 Author Report Posted August 20, 2008 WOW! Yes, it is an American. I was thinking early 60"s. I was only off twenty years... more than some boilers last. It still works just fine. Thanks.
Neal Lewis Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Bill, you're saying that the original system was a gravity type instead of circulated. Isn't the piping kindof a small diameter for a gravity system?
Les Posted August 20, 2008 Report Posted August 20, 2008 Bill is right. Late forties or early fifties. American.
