1960s: saw the introduction of the oil-fired Aga
A period of product development, expansion and change
1964 saw the introduction of the oil-fired Aga followed closely by the gas fired model in 1968. High-speed gas had arrived!
At the end of the decade Glynwed acquired Allied Ironfounders and Aga had a new owner.

A new kid on the block. This advertisement shows the model OB, the first oil fired Aga. Note the different design and squarer dimensions, it was a derivative of the Agathermic (1958-1967). It displays the new Aga logo nameplate on the top left hand door. This model OB was discontinued in 1973.
