ID'ing wall furnace ... help, please

Robert Jeffries

Hello,
I'm a homeowner trying to re-insure a small house that has a dual-sided gravity wall furnace. The furnace is very old, works well, passes inspections, but insurance co. is balking at the age--which I'm only guessing is vintage 1960. I'm thinking I could get lucky and someone will be able to identify it as being newer.
Information on the plate:
Montgomery Ward
Model TX-5779D, Serial 65X-M
50k BTU input, 35k BTU output
Any help, including age guesstimates, would be appreciated.
Note: it does not look like the one in the 1962 M-W catalog in your site library.
Thank you

Age may be important

if you are giving it a birthday party. But wouldn't a going away/retirement party be much more fun?

Monkey wards


They've been out of business for at least 15 years. They stopped selling the heating units WAY before that.

1960 sounds like an accurate guesstimate to me.

Sorry.
