Who Made This Cabinet Incubator?

Just picked up an old cabinet incubator, which looks like a Leahy style, but has no identifying badging at all. Looks to be missing the water tray, which I'd love to replace with an original or at least find a pic of one so I can build another. A manual would be great too if anyone knows what this is and has one. I'm guessing it's actually a Sears Roebuck model, but not sure. Any help and comments would be appreciated. Can't wait to get this old timer up and going! Thanks!

I won't say it's not a Leahy, because it is different from all of the Leahy's I've seen. They made a lot of different types for a lot of companies.
I've got an article about the one I rebuilt tagged in my signature.
Here's a couple of links that I found useful. Be aware, that all the original literature about them uses actual wet bulb thermometer readings not relative humidity. Message me, I'd be glad to answer any questions for you.

Thanks for the info. I'm beginning to think it's actually a Sears and Roebuck Farm Master. Identical to some of the pics I've seen, other than it being a 3 drawer model. May have still been made by Leahy though, and just marketed as the farm master. I'm in the process of re-wiring a portion of it now. After that just a good cleaning, minor wood repairs, new water pan, and it'll be ready to hatch!

Stuff was made to last generations back then. Not like today, where companies hope to see you back after a short number of years. These may be old, but they were built of quality materials and seem fairly well designed. Can't wait to test it out!
 
I agree that it looks like a Farm Master. I have one and the placement of the vents and fan and the hardware are the same.
