Help me identify this boiler!

Hello, all! My name is Ben and I am new here on the forum. I am a young master plumber in New Jersey. I came across this boiler on a no heat call earlier today. So cool to see something like this still in service! I was hoping someone with more experience than myself could help identify it. It’s an American Standard.

That's an old one alright. It probably has a copper coil heat exchanger inside like A.O. Smith Burkay boilers.

That very old Bell & Gossett pump is probably the original pump that was installed when the boiler went in.

Never seen that one before. It does resemble a Burkay

This boiler is over 50 years old and very heavy (Cast iron not CU ) !
About 7 years ago we replaced one of these boilers with a different one.
Since the American Standard boiler was installed under a stair case we did not have many boilers choose from so we installed a Teledyne Laars mini therm.

Thanks for the responses, everyone. No surprise the thing is heavy, they certainly don’t make them like this anymore!

It is more like 60-70, that style of boiler was common in the 50's and 60's or so.
