    I was call to service this furnace, it seems very very old. This is the only name plate on it. I would like to get some information on it before attempting to do any work on it. Thanks very much for your help as usual.

    This was probably a small local or regional manufacturer. Marietta is a small town in Lancaster County, PA along the Susquehanna River just north of Columbia. If there is a historical society there you might check with them.

    Given the age of that boiler it is probably very simple, with industry standard parts like gas valve or oil burner, circulator etc. Servicing should be quite straightforward.

    Apparently no luck a decade ago.

    Should be about the same as any other boiler from the 50's/60's. Probably 60's since it seems to have a combination valve.

    Looks like a boiler not a furnace. I can see a circ pump.

    Couldn't find much info on this gas fired steel boiler either, but here is its water rating from the Beacon Boiler Reference Book for new boilers between 1959-1972. https://heatinghelp.com/assets/documents/201.pdf
