Help identify brand and model radiator

Al Roethlisberger

We have the following hot water radiators throughout our house.  I can't seem to find any brand or model anywhere on them, although it is possible they could be painted over.



Does anyone recognize these off hand?  I have one that was removed(the twin of the one in the photo below) that I'd like to reinstall at some time.  Unfortunately it was thrown away years ago, so I'm on the hunt for the right brand/model to replace it with.



Thanks,

Al

old radiator

Al, theother Al here......could be a National or a Burnham or any number of similar rads....look on the boss at the top of the rad and wire brush off some paint. The maker's name should be there on each end.

It looks like a Thatcher Co.

Hi Al,

It looks like a Thatcher Co, which would have distinct castings over the end-plugs that say "Gothic" on the bottom plugs.  They will have a T on the top plugs and sa Thatcher.  The US radiator Corp "Capitol" radiator will also match, as will the Weil McLain "Cameo", the Burnham "Fero", and the Smith "144" which has much more pronounced flares in the legs than yours.  When they all start to look the same, the legs sometimes help identify.    Dan's book, "EDR, Every Darn Radiator" is a great one to research as well.

Thanks for the tip

I'll definitely take a look and see if I can find those marks.  Thanks for the advice about comparable replacements.
