My grandparents had one like this, bought from Montgomery Ward in the early 60's(?). There was a small door with a 3" window you could see the flame. I was warmed, probably more than once, that the door was NOT for adding bits of _____ (fuel). This is not an incinerator! It lasted until the mid 80's when it was replaced with a Carrier furnace and central a/c.

I have worked on A gazillion different oil burners back in the 80s and 90s,The newer so called flame retention stuff is ok, but noisy,and very sensitive to adjustment,, Give me a good old Sundstrand or Esso burner or a Iron Fireman Vortex, quiet clean and NO TROUBLE. | ||

It's a shame Williamson went out of business. I know a few people who still have their furnaces and central air units. It was a popular brand in my area. Their offices and factory were located on Madison Rd. in Oakley, and I went by there many times. That area has all been redeveloped now. | ||

 Some of the Lennox furnaces installed in 1967-68 in the houses my dad built on my parents' street are still going strong. Ours was too when it was replaced in 1992 because daddy wanted to get the furnace out from under the house in the crawl space so they went to a gas pack unit by Trane. But when I was a teenager I would sometimes crawl under the house to watch the thing light. I just love blue flames! Does that make me a pyromaniac? | ||
