All I can say is WOW, some incredibly cool, no pun intended, radiators. All and I mean every aunt, great aunt, grandmother, great grandmother had many of these. I had them in my bedroom and we had cast iron baseboard on the first floor. I think it took 2 minutes for the mittens to dry on'em
The non-straight ones are freaky cool, from an Orson Welles movie!

Thanks Mike. Fond memories of coming in from a snowy new england day and putting my mittons/boots on/under a radiator. Unfortunately few kids today will know what that feels like. Unless there parents are as crazy (sisters getting married tomorrow and I'm looking at radiators) as my wife and I. My wife growing up in El Paso never experienced a radiator till she met me. Matt

Before they were called Aetna Flue Radiators they were called Detroit Flue Radiator. Date of article 1898. Matt
