Hans, that is just beautiful!
Congratulations!

Very Classy!

Especially like the light. What does the front look like?

 

[danemodsandy]

Awesome Range!

I've never seen one of these before, not even in adverts. It's really nice to see something besides GE's and Frigidaire's 40-inchers - and I'll bet it's even more wonderful to own.

Congratulations, and what time did you say dinner was?

Norge knockers

"Knock on any norge Tap,tap,tap,tap
Knock on any Norge tap,tap,tap,tap
Hear the sound of silent quality,knock on any Norge tap,tap,tap,tap
Years from now,you'll be glad it's a Norge!

Those were the days and I am so happy for you finding your dream range!
John LaFever gave me an awesome GE 40" model decades ago and I loved it!It enabled me to learn how to be so precise in my cooking and I was completely converted from gas to electric.I feel I have more control on the heat on both the cooktop and oven.Gas may cost less but can become very wastefull and polute your environment.

Thats a weird light there. Does it swing up and down? I wonder how they marketed that feature?

And how exactly does the griddle heat? Is the heat element embedded in the griddle itself?

What a beautiful Range!

That is an absolutely awesome stove! Is the thumbwheel below the clock a minute timer?

More pix of the front and the deep well if you can manage!

I meant to say, in addition to the timer next to the clock.

They just had to have that extra inch, eh?

HOW COOL! Enjoy it Hans.

Does my eye spy the center of the knob being illuminated when the burner is energized?

Older wide model electric ranges seemed to vary between 38" and 42" in width.

Info on Norge

The griddle has embedded elements like a frypan, it plugs in to a outlet under the stove top with prongs like a oven element, the thumbwheel under the clock is the griddle control,basically an infinite heat control, the flourescent light swings out over the cooking surface, I guess to illuminate the inside of a pot,I don't know who thought that one up,the control knobs light up different colors as you turn the knob from warm, which is lavender up to high it changes todarker purple,then shades of yellow then red

Sometimes, it makes all the difference...

VERY clean. How 'on the money' are the ovens for temp? It looks like the previous owner really took care of it. Nice find!

Love Vintage stoves

like these. This is the first one I can remember with a griddle. My grandparents had one with a well or slow cooker. Especially useful when doing soups and beans.

Wow..

That's wonderful! I had no idea anything like that existed!
Congratulations on a fabulous find!
