Is this an old humidifier? I have not seen this before. It is in an early 50's Baltimore townhome.

Looks like it's in the same league as this one.

Does this look familiar?

The real question is, why would you install a humidifier in Baltimore?

I see them all the time. Especially in newer homes. The winter air can be very dry here.

If Baltimore is an unusual location for humidifiers, what is a usual one?

We have every kind of weather imaginable here in Maryland. You name it, hot, cold, dry, humid.....

In Maryland they say, "if you don'tlike the weather, wait a minute"

When I lived in PA for the first 24 years of my life, I had a tough time with dry skin during the winter. After moving to New Mexico, all of that stuff went away and I had no more trouble with dry skin. No more sinus infections either.
