“Equipped for manufactured gas“ means it’s quite old, before natural gas became standard. I would guess circa 1940s.—

I'm guessing from the manufactured gas, 40's0

Probably late 40s-50s. Looks in good shape. Their boilers were built like tanks, sadly no more.0

i know American-Standard was from 1948-1967 Just hope a historian can decipher date code. It heats our 1910 colonial very well. I keep gas burners clean for a nice blue flame. Happy New Year !0

I'm sure it's built like a tank. And I'm sure it heats very well. I'm also sure it's a good example of the progress we've made in 70+ plus years. Like spill switches, and rollout switches, and redundant gas valves. Life savers. And we have those old boilers to thank for it.0
