Neal Lewis Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 This label is on the front of something that appears to be from 1967, and still going strong. A water heater. Great label. They don't build 'em like they used to !! Click to Enlarge 38.81 KB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHI in AR Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Stone??? Where the hell would anyone put stone in a water heater? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neal Lewis Posted June 2, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 I think another label on the tank said there was a stone lining. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kurt Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 Never heard nor seen these. Googled, found these Maybe this one is similar. Stone lined. Sort of. Sounds good though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Kogel Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 The stone lining is actually a "cement-like slurry", but who wants a slurried tank? They built a tank that wouldn't fail and quietly went bankrupt ..... [] . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Amaral Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 It's a concrete-lined tank ... .. many were up here in Boston area. "Stonesteel".. they did last quite a long time... and most are all gone.. they weigh too much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nolan Kienitz Posted June 4, 2015 Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Maybe I should give the local James Hardie manufacturing plant a hint to add W/H's to their queue !! ?? JH has a manufacturing plant in Cleburne, TX (SW of Fort Worth) and I've been there a couple times on tours. Great folks and an interesting process. The semi-liquid JH product could easily be poured into a cylinder. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
