Do anyone know anything about these old,well built and charming furnaces?
If you do, can you tell me?

Looks like a 1950s/1960s Williamson. I haven't seen one in the flesh as an HVAC tech (all I usually see are units from the past 25 years), but I do remember seeing a forced air furnace with a large footprint like those units, and it was a Williamson. Similar color of blue. It was an oil burner though. These appear to be gas burners as far as I can tell.

I could be wrong on the brand. Back then there were quite a few manufacturers. Nowadays, you're pretty much limited to Carrier/Bryant/Payne, American Standard/Trane, Rheem/Ruud, York/Coleman, Goodman/Amana, Lennox and Nordyne (they license name brands from major appliance companies and rebrand all of their equipment as Frigidaire, Maytag, Gibson or even Broan/NuTone, among several others).
