Default Anyone seen one of these before?
Older electric hot water heater... Combustion Engineering Heatmaster Delux!

IT was so wrapped with insulation, could only get a few shots... comes from an 50's home... first one I've seen...

IT is still working... surprisingly, but I've prepared the buyer to plan for replacement, if for nothing else better efficiency...

The nameplate indicates its an "Automatic Water Heater". Much better than the old, manual ones.

Yeah, probably original, past it's expected life (although they don't make em like they used to).

Nice find.

The original "manual" water heater.


"War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things; the decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks nothing is worth a war, is worse. A man who has nothing which he cares more about than he does about his personal safety is a miserable creature who has no chance at being free, unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself."

- John Stuart Mill

I'll bet that house is on a well, no chlorine. The CE company should be proud, except their product was so good they've gone out of business.
