Radiator ID?? PGP

p.s. IMHO the bright gold looks like crap in that environment. Modern "bronzing" of a russet/"warm" gold mica mix would be ever more appropriate.

Mattress Rads?

Anybody know the heritage of these radiators? In a Seattle home c.1910

Believe those are from the Pressed Metal Radiator Company. Style is "Helca". From the 1920s or so. If you have Dan's book "EDR", they appear on page 167.

EDR per section:

38" 4 sqft EDR/section

32" 3 1/3 sqft EDR/section

26" 2 2/3 sqft EDR/section

23" 2 1/3 sqft EDR/section

20" 2 sqft EDR/section

14" 1 1/3 sqft EDR/section

Legs were both optional and attachable to any section. I've seen quite a few of these in St. Louis.

Price in 1920 was a whopping 42¢ - 64¢ per sq.ft. Tallest cost the least per square foot, shortest the most.

Narrower and wider versions were available as well.
