30" Hotpoint Range

[pulltostart]

In beautiful shape!  Seller claims it's a 1961.  Rather pricey, but a nice find.

I think it's somewhat earlier than '61; more likely a '54 or '55 model. Later versions had a separate door for each section. This is a nice one.

question

What was the basket for? Lid storage?

 

[patrickcawley]

This is no longer available i guess it wasnt removed, i bought it about 2 weeks ago off craigslist, luckily the seller came down on the price. It works perfect too!

The stove I grew up with.

i would love

To have it but not for that price.

 

[patrickcawley]

I paid 400 for it which still might be pricey but the oven looks like it was never used and everything else runs great. Im very happy with it and it goes great with my 1954 GE fridge and 1958 Hotpoint dishwasher

Wow, Patrick, $400 is a very good price for a range in this condition, you did very well.

 

This range should work very well, how much do you a range ?

This range works beautifully, boils water much quicker than the modern stove i had and the oven is a very nice even heat. Havent used the drop down well yet but im looking forward to it. I use it mutiple times a day and no issues yet, hope it holds up for a years to come

Very nice .....

oven indeed! And $400 for this quality of an example I think was a good deal as well. Congrats

Yes, the basket was for lid storage!

The basket

And rack I still have Mother stored cereal in it because in those pre AC days, cereal could get damp, the warmth kept it crisp, It shows this in the manual which I stil have, Ours was bought at Lowes in downtown North Wilkesboro ,the original Lowes before they became a chain, Grandaddy hauled it home on his 49 Dodge truck.
