    mystery radiation

    Can you help me identify the manufacturer of this baseboard radiation? It probably looks like cast iron with its grey paint, but it's definitely steel. The 0.041"serpentine fins are welded to two single-pass water chanels that are bonded to the 0.077" face plate. It comes from Minneapolis. I want to install up to 60' of this in my basement as part of my cast-iron-radiator heating system. Here are front and back pictures of a sample section. Thanks

    I think

    It came from sears or montgomery ward. I did some renovation in a 40 -50's capecod style "kit home". I had to remove it because of a wall being moved and a slider door being added. I just ran modern style copper fin tube in its place [can't cut it] and left the rest alone. That was the first time I had seen it but have seen several times since. I knew the name at one time and remember seeing literature. If I find info I will post it.
