American radiator company vecto heater questions

BuckHarrison

Prior to some updating of my over 100 year old home. I had this wood burning furnace like thing and the boiler adjacent to it heating the home.

Im curious to find more out about it and if it has a resale value. I try matching pictures online and I found 2 matches but no details. I try to lookup the company and I find some old things but not this specific one.

Adding some additional photos. This was heating my home with cathedral ceiling and a 2nd and a half floor, this house was a church a little over 100 years ago. It was long with this old peerless boiler and that old water tank heating my home and water.

@BuckHarrison, here is the circa-1926 brochure for your American Radiator Company Ideal Vecto heater:

Thank you!

The next question is does this functioning 1926 device hold any value?

We love our 1928 (?) model, vecto model, the shaker grate recently broke...we now just use a steel grate in the bottom.
