Radiator manufacturer

We have all heard of American Radiator Co when it comes to radiators.  However,  "US Radiator Co".  Has anyone heard of this manufacturer as a manufacturer of radiators?  Any history?

ornate radiator

Thank you.  I did actually find that catalogue online last night but it did not have anything that looks quite like the one I am considering buying.  All the radiators in the catalogue are rather plain whereas this one appears more ornate.



I attached a picture of the entire radiator that corresponds to the casting ID I sent earlier.

Same company

but the ornate style was discontinued around 1920. Ratings were standardized by then, so if that's what you need, go ahead and use the tables for the plain ones.
