in THE MAIN WALL
Tag gone and hoping anyone might recognize mfr. Float sw on top is a little unusual. Need new float sw assembly. No tag on float sw either. 
Appreciate input. See photo

    My guess is Skidmore, but I am not certain.

    Frank, I thought Shipco at first but found nothing similar. Will check Skidmore. Color led me to Shipco first. I think I will will be able to use a square D 9037E float assembly on it now that I did a little looking in square D catalogs.
    Thanks all

    Does this look like 1/2 of the one you have?

    This is a Skidmore 10 MX series, Model XC2S61..Model 56948-1S...Date code K90X...6 gallon...1/3HP
    Even shop order 68,622-S (269)-925-8812.

    Sq D class 9037 EG9-Series B

    I did replace the shaft seal.
    One leg of the switch was burned, so only 1 pole is running it.
    I was going to get a standard well switch and rob parts out of it for getting 2 contacts.
    1938 Building was on borrowed time. Steamer is gone now, the guy who bought the build is certain he can heat it cheaper with straight resistance electric heaters.... :D
    Rather than the 50 HP or so Kewanee......for sale by the way.

    I think the contacts for those are available as repair parts from square d.

    Skidmore seems more likely. Hoffman is usually tan colored. I thought Shipco as well but since you already checked

    The D9037E float sw, ball and rod worked like a charm, under 200 bucks and done. Large mech contractor installed a steam to water heat x in this pit below the 120 yr old chapel for hydronic wall panels in basement . The brought the steam pipe down from above to pit, over 15 ft then up 2ft loop then down into top of S&T hx. No drip on the steam line trap. Nice and quiet! ;o
    Thanks all for replies
