Default Heater Age??

Hello Everyone. I came across a heater for the second time today and could not identify the age. It was a conventional furnace probably 15-20yrs. The manufacturer Patco(Magic Chef on inside cabinet) Serial # A23058CAB. Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Chris

You can always call the manufacturer if it's not covered by any SN -> Age guides posted on this board, or book refereces like Prestons & CD.

I am absolutely amazed sometimes by how much thought goes into doing things wrong ...
