Help With Radiator ID

I have two radiators that I need help identifying.

The first looks to be an American Radiator Peerless Wall Radiator (which I'm assuming because 14 of the 16 original radiators in the rest of the house are also American Radiator Company). However, it doesn't look exactly like the drawings in the literature found here in The Library. So, does this look like a different manufacturer's wall radiator to anyone?

The second radiator (last picture) has a company marking - but I can't read it through all the paint. The Mrs. thinks it says Worees?ort (where ? is an unknown letter). I think it looks like '..eespory'. None of my searches have come up with any radiators with similar names. Any thoughts? Radiator is 19 inches tall.



Right now I'm estimating the wall radiator to be 36ft of radiation using the numbers for Type-9B of the Peerless type. The other I am estimating to be 73.333ft which is what a 20 section, 7-tube, and 20 inch high American would be.

    Don't have my copy of EDR in front of me, but the wall radiator looks just like the American Radiator Co. model I have in my kitchen. This was made in a few different sizes. Side note: those hanging straps make me a little nervous!

    The odd-ball is probably a "McKeesport" radiator. Hope that helps in your search.

    Good luck,

    Here's a link to a thread where I asked the EDR of a similar rad:
