I have the '59 version, and this looks to be much older styling. '55 looks about right.

The deep well cooker can also be used an a deep fat fryer if you desire. In the manual it even describes how to use it to cook and entire meal including a cake on the top level.
 
It's Sherwood green Bob. Model RV-45.

I love that color! That's what the Turquoise kitchen was going to be until Rick talked me out of it!
 
Wow. Thanks Bethann. I guess it's the lighting of the photo. I've seen Sherwood Green in person once and someone in California had a Sherwood Green DI55 Filtrator for a little while. That's not how I remember that shade at all.
 
That bump on the back wall of the deep well is a thermostat. To deep fry, the shortening was put in the pan and the switch set to HIGH. When one light for the deep well went out, the heat was switched to Medium Hi and the single element in the Radiantube cycled to keep the fat at the proper temperature. That large chrome escutcheon in the middle on the front had a miserable design of little square hob nail things sticking up with grooves around them. Nothing but a grease and dirt catcher. Needs constant cleaning with a toothbrush & spray cleaner and you have to hold a towel beneath it so that the stuff does not run down inside the oven door openings. Sherwood Green actually has more yellow in it, but often shows up with more blue in it in some lighting and photo conditions. At least Sherwood Green is not as yellow as Frigidaire's yellow is green.
 
Here's a picture of my dryer. I think it was Rich that had the other dryer. Maybe one of these days I'll find the washer. It really makes me wonder... when I found the dryer the people that had it we're shut in's. There were a couple of mini barns in the back, and they didn't throw a damn thing away, I mean nothing. now that I think about it, it was probably in one of them. Bummer!
