Is it an early free standing Janus?

Or why not read the Data badge that is visible?

 

[Ray Stafford]

Could it possibly be the hot water element of an old Johnson and Starley hot air system?

 

[DaveTidy]

Worked on stacks of circulators back in the day but have never seen this one, must be on the badge plate though?

Doesn't look like the ones that used to be in a Thorn Sugg or Johnson and Starley.

Definitely a nice fire hazard if it were on. Seen quite a few where the fins caked up where they weren't cleaned properly. The call you would then get would be luke warm water as the flames would go downwards and heat the pipes from the outside of the appliance.

That opens your eyes when you get there! Normally wire mesh around these old units.

Circulator Ascot was the one we used to install and repair a lot of in the 70's

 

[Gasmk1]

A lot of warm air heaters were the original combi with the air heater one side and circulator on the other
