Those would look great powder coated or some artwork brazed on. I would take one if they are reasonably priced, and ship able
What is the dimension of those?Bob "hot rod" Rohr

Looks like steel with a steel tube wrapped around. Possibly no waterways inside the loop of tube?Bob "hot rod" Rohr

Looks like venturi tee connections. That means water.pecmsg said:Steam or Water?
EDR. get a tape measure and measure the length x the width x 2 (front and back)
I wonder how that might work under my sleep number bed?

After you make that expensive repair and you still have the same problem, What will you check next?

AmazingBryant 245-8 2-pipe steam in a 1930s 6-unit 1-story apt building in the NM mountains. 26 radiators heating up 3800sqf.0

Definitely hot water there is no provision for condensate.
Those round dark spot look like a shadow of some internal structure.
Looking at the edges I cannot tell if it is rolled steel seams or possibly an almost impossible casting. My money is on steel.
Did these come out of a stable? They remind me of the multiple horizontal radiant pipe system that I see in some old stable buildings.0 -
