ID this radiator?

I was visiting an old factory turned artist space in Somerville, MA last weekend (Vernon St Studios / Rogers Foam) and came across a steam radiator design I hadn't seen before. I'm guessing it was designed to be semi-adjustable by swapping out the tubes for different sizes.

    Looks like some flavor of a Bundy radiator although the catalog link seems to be missing:

    That's called a pipe radiator. It's missing the top, which is a cast-iron grille. Did you happen to get the name that appears on the base? I can't make it out…………………..

    Didn't notice the name on the base but I'm in the building often (my partner has a studio) so I'll look more carefully next time. It looks like 1881 is stamped on the pipes which would be consistent with that Bundy catalog link. Funny, I've seen those rads before with the top but didn't make the connection.

    I believe it may be missing its Cast Iron decorative top. My customer found this rad in an attic room. Liked it so much he had us install it in his first floor front room. Of course he had it refinished.
