Me thinks Skelgas, Westinghouse was all electric in those days.

1950?

Range!
Looks like a Tappan made model!

Wow - a rare bird. We can be sure it's not a Westinghouse, but it was made by the same firm in Indiana that made ranges for Maytag. Not sure if this is a "dutch oven" style range, Maytag carried both types; standard gas oven and the cook with the gas turned off models that allowed you to turn off the burner, shut the oven vent and keep the heat retained for slow-roasting. I emailed the seller to see if they'll send some pics of the panel and controls - I suspect it might be labeled with the range-maker company's name which IIRC began with a "W". We'll see.
Wedgewood?
I can't make it out well enough, but that could possibly be a Wedgewood logo in the bottom center of the backsplash.
What I don't remember is if Wedgewood was a regional brand found mainly on the west coast.
And yeah, for a gas model that one is closer to 1960 than 1950.

Here's the brochure for the Maytag Dutch Oven version. They were made by the Globe American Corporation out of Kokomo, IN. Certainly could have been private labeled to another brand/wholesaler.
I'm wondering if it isn't a Maytag and the 'M A Y T A G' on the top control center didn't get wiped away with Spray N Wash at some point in the 80's.

Ding! Waytag, I was right! 
Spray 'N Wash... or Shout aerosol was just as caustic. Is that a doll made of kitchen towels on the front?

I think it's older that ya'll think, I'd say early 50s, the squared off backsplash is ahead of it's itme but the rest screams 1952, and no one made a center oven with cabs on each side like that by the late 50s IIRC.
