Very Interesting, But not 1940s Hotpoint

Strange integration of metal and wood cabinets. Hotpoint was early to use a single lever control faucet which, of course, has been replaced with a Delta.

You will notice that there are three banks of buttons for the surface units and one big dial. For one year in the early 50s, Hotpoint offered an infinite control on high end models for pressure cookers so this section could be early 50s even if the oven is newer.

It might be one of the Hotpoint versions of the 'wonder kitchen' from the mid to late 50s.  The oven has a late-50s look to it.
