I would be willing to bet there is no parts catalog or much else in the way of company info. I have been meaning to scan the catalog and make it publicly available but have simply been too busy to get to this. Don't hesitate to bug me if you do not hear back in a week or two. John,

I have been thinking about restoring it to use as a decorative piece. It was my grandmother's, so if she purchased it new in NYC or Queens it is likely from the 1910s - 1930s. I haven't seen too much out there on this type of heater and have been concerned that the material inside is asbestos, so have kept it double-bagged all these years. I just unwrapped it for some photos yesterday to see if I could find any information on it. Any idea on where to get info on the construction of this model? You can see photos of it on my Flickr stream: Full front: http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnjt/5948939996/in/photostream/ Rear shot - model number? http://www.flickr.com/photos/johnjt/5948940520/in/photostream/ I looked underneath and behind for a model plate, but didn't find one yet. (But I'm a little leery of handling it too much in case my asbestos suspicion is correct.) Thanks! Hello,

If you knew the stove spent its life in an urban area, then it is likely but not necessarily natural gas. As you will see in the discussion here http://www.komar.org/bbq/mm/convert/ you can convert from LP to natural gas by ever so slightly drilling out the burner orifice. Going the other way is a greater challenge. If in doubt, hire an expert....this is gas we are talking about Could be LP, could be natural gas.
