Might be a '63. Is the front top rounded?

Nice boiler and base. I don't think I would be picking it up OR tying it down by the domestic water coil though.

Did you get the stoker with it to?

A black iron nipple (with a hole through it) screwed into the boiler top makes an excellent lift point.

Thank tankless coil sure looks like it has been through the war. Each bottom corner is broke off!

The whole furnace is complete. The coil area needed some welding. There's no coil attached to that plate. I didn't take a picture of the top of the boiler, but the fitting is either towards the front or back and awkward to lift, so that's what my father came up with.

Doesn't look like any standard efm coil I ever saw. How did you determine a 1962 build date?

the base is identical to my 56 built fitzgibbons pressure vessel but I guess they are easily interchangeable
