It can't be newer than 1972 or so, since Crane sold their boiler line to Slant/Fin around that time.
It does appear in the Beacon Boiler Reference, here:

Thank you. Is there anywhere I can get a manual or some more info0
-
Doubtful on the manual but you shouldn't need one . It's a simple gas fired atmospheric boiler0
-
Ok thank you. Can anyone help. Boiler is releasing water out of pressure relief valve. Had mechanical service replace but still leaking. Pressure gage use to stay between 20 and 22 psi now holding between 12 and 15 psi. Not sure what way to go from here0

You almost certainly have a waterlogged or otherwise faulty expansion tank. This is not part of the boiler itself.—

Thank you very much. Where approximately would expansion tank be located0

There are three possibilities depending on the age of the system.
Modern expansion tanks are the bladder type, typically connected to piping near the boiler. Usually gray in color.
Older systems designed for forced (pumped) circulation usually have a compression tank hung in the ceiling over the boiler. These occasionally become waterlogged and must be drained and refilled to restore their function.
Very old systems designed for gravity circulation usually had an open expansion tank in the attic. These are often replaced with one of the above two types when the boiler is changed.—
