Year Newer
My Great Aunt had Sears stove a year newer than this. Pushbuttons acrossed the top, signal lights in the center to show which burner was on and the knobs along the lower edge for the two ovens and the griddle. It had a deep well and the pan storage was one large drawer with the toe touch release. The clock had a clear resin based cover that cracked and broke if you hit it with an pan or if the pan over the left rear burner was large enough to touch the face of the clock. Burners were fine with all high, outside high, inside high, all medium, inside medium, outside medium, all low, outside low, inside low or simmer, deepwell was good, griddle was excellent, oven was good for roasting but a terrible baker because all heat came from the bottom so items were pale and flat on top. It was an extremely dependable range finally getting the boot in the 70,s when they moved to town. If you rotated the oven control knob to broil and then back to the desired temperature it activate the broil unit for preheat. In later years Sears went to a fixed setting for preheat which made one likely to forget to reset the selector to bake.
