I came across this ancient contraption a few weeks ago while working in someones house.It's a very old -about 100 years- instant hot water heater located in their basement.Inside the two doors is a large copper coil in a spiral that serves as the water reservoir and the bottom chamber is where it's heated with gas. I had to have a picture of this unique antique:) thanks for taking a look:)

Our integrity sells for so little, but it's all we really have. It's the very last inch of us and within that inch, we are free. -V
I think they are still in business, BB. This baby is probably worth its weight in hot water.
Cool shot.

Good clear shot Bruce, I see it's plumbed in, does it really still work?

Wow! No spider webs either!...lol...I wondered when they started making hot water heaters. This definitely looks like one of the first! Great find and wonderful shot Bruce!!! Hope you're doing okay :-)

Four eyes are better than two.
Oh my goodness, that's a very wonderful find and shot. That would make a fabulous museum piece. They sure made them very fancy.

This is really good. Wonderful subject, marvelous details. Beautiful work, Bruce.

A very early and ornate gas-fired rapid-delivery (hence the copper coils in the heat exchanger section) Ruud water heater - still in operation...These came before the standing hot water tank type, and are actually what the more modern "on-demand" (tankless) design and function hot water systems are based on...Sometimes, it's a good thing when one has to go "back to basics" for moden innovation...
Great post...Thanks for sharing...

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust
What an interesting find. I love the detail on the heater. Excellent capture, Bruce.
