    I had an Ideal coal fired water heater years ago. Painted the body one color, the lettering and shamrock another. Eventually got rid of everything but the doors and flue baffle.

    That's actually a domestic water heater, not a heating boiler. It circulated into a storage tank by gravity, not unlike an aquabooster does now with a pump.

    But why? hydronics are so much better.
    That would be awesome to get your hands on.

    I have never seen one of those in my travels, nice old concept. Working in and around Baltimore sure exposes you to interesting things.
