Jamie, that range was most likely made in Hamilton, OH at the Estate Stove division of Whirlpool. That plant closed in 1962. One of my friends had a 30" version several years ago.

I was in Menard's a couple days ago, and they had a large display of Sylvania TruWave bulbs. They're supposed to have excellent color rendering (90+ CRI), and emit much less blue light than standard LED type. I think the bulb is glass, and it looks like a regular incandescent lamp. They have...

That's beautiful!

Oh, that's the only place I like that kind of light. I had a daylight (5000K) bulb in my bedroom light for a while, but had trouble going to sleep after having it on for very long. Now if there's a light bulb that will bring on intimate passion (and a participant), I might buy it.

NONE of those sound very good. If I had to eat one of them, I think I would the bacon-tomato. My mom made many of the Campbell's recipes, and I liked nearly all. I think she knew these wouldn't go over well.

I personally prefer the 3500K light, except in a bedroom. The 2700K is too yellow (and like candlelight) to me.

My 1953 Westinghouse range evidently had a defective thermostat from the beginning. My mom said it wouldn't heat when set to 325. Company was coming for dinner one day, and she was baking a ham. Preheated oven, then set at temp, and put ham in. When she went back to check on it, the oven had...

My dad's uncle owned a rental property with a couple businesses on the first floor, and three apartments on the second. He had paid insurance on it for many years, but let it lapse for some reason in 1976, after never making any claims. Well wouldn't you know it, one of the apartments caught...

Cory, I'm not sure how, or by who, this film was distributed. The major distributor of free loan films was Modern Talking Picture Service, which had locations in most large cities. My mom used to get their catalog when she was in charge of programs for one of her ladies clubs, and borrowed...

Watched it. It's obviously a low budget production compared to the films put out by Whirlpool. It doesn't appear to have been sponsored by Maytag, and it likely was something primarily intended for high school home ec classes. There wasn't any content trying to convince the viewer to purchase or...

"Big 10" screen" - I thought the Crosley 12" above was small until I saw this. At least they both have rectangular screens, instead of round like some from that time.

I distinctly remember a copper ground wire running from our 1955 Westinghouse washer to a clamp on the copper cold water line by the faucet. When that machine was replaced by a 1964 Westinghouse, it had a grounded cord and plug. The man who installed the machine put in a grounded receptacle, and...

The Tappan gas ovens in the ads have to same control panel as the electric one my Aunt Doris had in her home that was built in 1962. It and the matching cooktop were pink. I also saw Youngstown cabinets in several of the commercials.

If they are not heating up to the high setting, it sounds like they may be getting only 120 volts instead of 240. I don't know how the wiring is hooked up internally on these, but possibly a wire has burned off or come loose. Also, if your house has fuses, one of them could be blown, or the...

I've tried various brands of mayonnaise, and like Duke's overall the best. I like Heinz, but it's difficult to find. Ken's is also very good, but seems to only come in food service size containers, and I would never use that much before it would spoil. I like Blue Plate a lot, but don't see it...

In addition to the commercial being for St. Regis Paper Co., it was filmed using the residents of that town (not actors), in their own homes.

I'm assuming this is a gas oven. It reminds me of a newer version of an oven my friends the Wilsons had at their old house. I've not heard of the Chef Master brand before.

If something is for pick up only, it would help to know where they are. Your info says you are "from Long Island, NY", but that doesn't indicate if that's where you are currently, or where the items are located. The Hamilton Beach chrome model is like the Sears CounterCraft I have.

Most likely because the ad appears to be for the St. Regis Paper Co. I remember having that brand of notebook paper when I was a kid.
