There is one ( different foundry ) nearly identical in design on CL for $100 and the current post is almost a month old but it's been listed on and off for almost two years.

The ones I've seen listed on Craigslist, that don't last long, are the ones listed for 50 dollars. And that's in very good condition.

This thread about "bucket-a-day" hot water heaters might help.

There are a couple of companies still making them.
