I have a gas fireplace which was installed in my 1993 Richmond home in South Denver, which requires maintenance, but is unidentifiable. The seal on the glass has been breached, and is therefore dangerous to operate. Unfortunately, there is no identifiable make or model anywhere on the unit. (I have removed all of the louvers, and there is neither a plate with make and model, or a hanging plate with make and model.) I had been told that it "might" be a Heatilator, but I submitted photos to their technical service people, and they claim it is not a Heatilator. Without a make and model, I am unable to find anyone to replace the glass or the gasket around the glass.

Thank you for any assistance you can provide. I have attached photos of the unit as well.
Katie

It looks like a gas fireplace, not an insert to me. How is it vented? That can help determine at least if its a direct vent or b vent fireplace. It does look very generic. I couldnt even hazard a guess.
 
alot of units like that used tempered glass, some higher eff. models used neo ceram, like woodstoves. see local glass shop, bring a sample, and template
almost all glass gaskets can be replaced with something like this
