1930s Frigidaire.

This is listed as a range from the ’50s, but that is clearly incorrect.  This looks like a 1937 or 1938 B-40 or 41.  Can anyone here definitively identify it? 

 

One of the burners is a recent replacement, and the cord is obviously modern.  I would almost guess the whole things was restored at some point, except that the oven interior looks very “original”.  Even so, it looks like someone cared for this for a lot of years.

I can say with 99.9% certainty that it is a 1939 model B-30-39.

 

What is especially interesting is that 2 of the surface elements are original and the 3rd which was replaced between 1941 and 1950 with the thinner first iteration Radiantube. Clearly a low-mileage range!

 

Here are some pics from the 1939 service manual:

Thank you for the ID, Mark.

 

A little cheaper and a lot closer, and I might buy it.  I love the look and the history of it, but I need it like a hole in the head.
