would it be to get the boiler and ship it? I have a forklift in the driveway, I feel invincible! 1950's Towmotor with a 4 cyl. Continental. Thanks.

    We are removing, from a residential location, a 1905-6 Franklin Prox Co. Economic 105 boiler and 15 varying heights and widths American Radiators. This system was in operation last year. Hate to see these things hit the scrap heap. If there is someone that appreciates old items they are available for a short period. Homeowner wants to dispose of them. This is south Texas so residential hot water or steam heat is few and far between. Radiators have raised ornamental designs on tubes, just beautiful. Let us know.

    We dont have alot of radiant heat in homes down here, but it appears that the system was originally steam heat when it was coal fired but was changed to hot water when a conversion to natural gas occured. The radiators have top and bottom plugs. Radiators are piped using lower plugs.
