We are pending on a good condition 1890s house with this in the basement. A google search hasn't revealed much information. Because it has a clinker drawer, I'm thinking maybe it's an old coal one that got converted to gas?

It'll be my first time being responsible for a boiler/radiator system. I'm looking for guidance on what to expect maintenance & operation-wise on a unit this old. Can anyone point me towards clear how-to resources on these? Not sure if there's just not much info online or the enshittification of search engines is burying the good resources.

(Yes, asbestos-wrapped pipes, we would wrap them.)
