Spencer Type A boiler doors
I saved these from the old Sears and Roebuck building that is unfortunately being turned into hipster apartments. I am a sprinkler guy and since the pipes are as old as the building (1940s or 50s) all the sprinkler head, lines,main, and riser had to be replaced. Obviously these doors were attatched to the boiler in the basement. The jobs Superintendent let me take them since the basement isnt gonna be used for anything. So now what lol??? Can anyone tell me anything about them? I have searched high and low and cant really find a single thing about the Spencer Type A boiler. I have found that spencer was bought out by burnham in i believe the 70s. Please help! Ideas about what i could do with them qould be great also!!! My idiot buddy that helped me carry them into my house said "these are like 150 pounds of scrap!" ....i dont think so lol. *i thought i would be able to add pics. They are 30 1/2"x20 1/2". At the top they say Spencer, they say Type A in the middle and they say Spencer heating company Williamsport Pa at the bottom.

Also snagged these guys (obviously not from the boiler) The thermometer, oil temp control box and ASCO refrigeration piece (Manufactured for Trane) all taken from the same industrial unit.

I mean the doors look pretty cool if you have a shop to display them. The poster is a pretty nice piece of memorabilia.
I like to collect old things, but honestly, most of it is scrap.

Most stuff from the 1940s and newer is not really worth much as far as antiquity. Mass production made most not rare enough.

You might try Mike Wolfe at Antique Archaeology,

Phone: 563 265 3939 or email pickster45@gmail.com

Some of their customers get pretty creative with stuff like what you have.

I'm guessing that, like me, a lot of folks here throw stuff like this away all year long. It's common, heavy, and not worth the effort to transport it.
