Radiator Identification

What is this radiator and where can I find one???

Generically, that's a ding room radiator. Several companies made them. To me this looks very similar to an American Hot-Closet radiator, but the pattern on the doors is different. I haven't found an exact match yet.

Where can you find one? In your dreams, pal. Cast iron radiators are hard to find, and if you want something special, like one of these or a plate warmer or window radiator, good luck.

@bboepple, those date back to the late 1800s/early 1900s and were used in dining rooms to warm plates and food. Here's some literature on one from 1903: https://heatinghelp.com/heating-museum/national-radiator-company-1903/

As far as finding one, yes they are rare, but here are some places that sell used radiators: https://heatinghelp.com/systems-help-center/where-to-find-used-radiators/

And Castrads makes radiators. They are not like this one, but they are beautiful. https://www.castrads.com/us/
