"1950's"

Means:

"I ain't never seen nuthin' like this at Home Depot or Lowes."

 

[tomturbomatic]

Yeah, more like 1960s.

I didn't think they were 1950's, just looking at what I call the sine-wave motif on the oven window.

WELLLLL

Lowes in the 50s WAS a Hotpoint dealer!!!!My Grandparents bought their 1954 Hotpoint at the old original Lowes Hardware Store in Downtown North wilkesboro, It was just getting started in those days, and people drove from all over the state to shop there because it was much cheaper than normal appliance or furniture stores, North Wilkesboro was about 25 miles from Lenoir ,where I was raised, Grandaddy drove his 49 Dodge truck down and bought the stove,sink ,Formica, and all the plumbing fixtures to re model the kitchen.

I have a 1961 Hotpoint

Service bulletin that shows this range.

 

[ovrphil]

That service bulletin - is that showing the model for the first time in 1961?

If not, then ...could it be earlier, 1960 or possibly be a 1957-59, after all?
