also in the booklet -
was this drawing showing the full lineup for that year.
The fridge shown in the pic has been a "holy grail" for me for a very long time. I can't recall ever seeing one in person or even in a picture before. Actually, even the magazine ads only had drawings and not pictures.
Anyone ever see a real one in person?

A friend's family had a very similar looking range, but it was under the Crosley nameplate. The fridge is obviously a Crosley with minor trim changes. It was about this same time Crosley had their version of the Bendix laundry set. Did Bendix ever offer their version of the American Kitchens - Crosley dishwasher?
Similar
Crosley Kelvinator- Bendix-Leonard and Gibson all had similar bodies - by AVCO. (I am pretty sure that's correct anyway)
That Bendix stove does look quite similar to the Crosley.
While the Crosley Fridge had a similar body - there is no other handle configuration that looks like the Bendix setup.
Here is a pic of the same year Crosley Stove.

Holiday Cheer, Ted
You can imagine the eager thoughts running around in people's heads with your beautiful blow-ups and commentary.
Is that a Turq Lady K across from the Crosley?

That Crosley stove looks great and fun, but I can't figure out the dials/buttons, looks like one set of buttons yet four burners? There's plenty of knobs, however, but I can't see well enough. Can you describe or get close-up shots?
Thanks in advance-
Mark

Oven Temperature Probe with 1/4" phone jack ??
My parents stove they got about in 52 or 53 was horizontal too and there was a gizmo to measure the inside temp of a turkey being cooked in the oven.
The inside of the oven had a 1/4" jack. The probe was bendable, ie like microphone goose neck. There was a temperature dial on the stoves front,and maybe a deep fat fryer too.
It was longer horizontally and I think a Westinghouse or GE

knobs on the Crosley
The two circles on the outside left and right have oven and oven/broiler controls. Left center is a clock and timer and right center are the 4 knobs for the burners. In the pic a couple of the original burner knobs are missing - but I have since found some replacements.

Crosley knobs
BygTed-----thanks for info. So the 5 buttons on the farthest right do what? sorry I'm so nosy, it's just pretty darn cool

hmmmm
Those buttons say "left Unit" -"right unit"- "L R"- and "auto outlet".
I honestly don't know what they do. I am assuming that you push them in and they work in conjunction with the timer to turn the selected operation on or off with the timer control.
Where's Tom or John? They always know this stuff !!

the Nutone "built-In " counter, power HEAD unit..
Mmmmm, seeing the Poster reminded me of days gone by....Howard had been to Holland and shipped Dutch Tiles, back home (Colerain, Ohio) for his Country Estate "Quaker Acres-1830" Kitchen restoration project. He simply insisted that he have this Nutone power Unit installed in the counter top, and it was lowered to a certain height for easy access and usage. A separate counter area just for this power head system.... The Nutone Attachments were not very well researched and small...Rather More labor skill needed than USING the actual free standing KA Mixer or Blender, slicer, etc....A new gadget for the times...1975. I think it was used a half dozen times and then just collected DUST....LOL.

"I am not sure what mom is medicating herself with"
or from which end.
Yes, in the early 50s, some electric range manufacturers, I think Coolerator was one of them, announced a grand invention from ITT that allowed the clock to control the master oven, the appliance outlet, the deepwell cooker and the 8 inch surface unit so maybe these buttons controled the two front surface units, the deepwell at the left rear (LR) or the Living Room lights (LR) and the outlet. The fifth button was probably the default to the oven which operated manually as long as the clock was not set and cocked for automatic operation.
One of my induction units has a timer that can be set to turn off the unit after the selected number of minutes of cooking. It seems like that feature could be incorporated into ranges with touch controls.

NuTone
My neighbor lady up the street got one of these "In-Built" units installed when they did the kitchen over in 1973. I know she didn't seem to care much for the mixer part, but the blender was fine. I assume she still has it as I think she still has the same countertop, but will ask when I see her.
These units were introduced sometime around 1960, and I'm not sure when they were discontinued. They were still in the catalog in the early 80's when I worked at a plumbing supply co. that was a NuTone distributor, but never remember us selling one.
