1950s westinghouse range

Always liked the styling of this one; I rarely see it . Decatur, Ga. Somewhat overpriced at 500. Unable to post link to craigslist, Atlanta under appliance "vintage".

I think

That is a 56 or 57, these are kind of rare.

This model was made for two years, 57 and 58. 1958 was the year that WH introduced the new squared-off line. That was the year that the new ranges went with a split cook top, but this style range from the previous year was also sold until they ran out of the old cabinets, I guess. The new line of 40" ranges had the wide master oven from there on so that the 40" and the 30" ranges could share the same oven liners, doors and bake element.

single or double?

I'm assuming this is a single oven, due to there being only five knobs on the dash, four for each burner and one for the oven. Left side is probably storage.

The two big dials on either side of the clock are the oven thermostat dials. The 5th knob was the minute timer.
