One of my customer has these really cool radiators. Does anyone know what brand and if still available?

    Weil-McLain, I think.... either the Solray or Raydiant model. I think they were last made sometime in the 1950s.

    @giardina850 - Here's an old photo of Weil-McLain's Raydiant Cabinet Radiator. I got this from E.D.R.: Ratings from Every Darn Radiator (and convector) you'll probably ever see.

    I have a customer with a couple of those. I really like the way they heat. They warm quickly as you would expect from cast iron finned convectors but the radiant output from the surface is still there, unlike convectors.
    So far, my favorite radiators are these "raydiants" and also the vertical (gun barrel) radiators like the Nason / Bundy (and the zillion look-alikes).
