I am trying to figure out what exactly I have here. I found a thread on here from 2013 but that is all the internet has to offer. I hope you antique geniuses can help.

Can't say I've ever seen one of those.

Is the cooking surface hinged? I've looked through all of my Hotpoint literature and don't find this one; I would guess it's a late 1950's offering, maybe trying to compete with the Frigidaire fold-up cooking units. Color appears to be Woodland Brown.

Welcome to the club / Hotpoint Custom Trend
Don’t believe there are many of these around. Early 1960s is a good guess. I have a Hotpoint calendar from about 1963 that shows this range.
Mine is pink. Sorry about the bad photo. I’ve not seen one in coppertone yet. The fellas in Maryland have one in stainless I think.
Congratulations!

Welcome, Trey!
John Lefever has one of these in the museum kitchen in MD. We actually used it cooking for the Wash-In a few years back and it worked very well. The unit sits on the countertop. You don't see these too often - worth holding onto!

Thank you all for your responses. It is hinged. It folds into the side a snuggles up very nicely. I pulled it out of an estate sell house here in Nashville TN. I'm going to attach more pictures of it here in a few minutes. It was too cool to leave, just wish I had a use for.
I saw an ad for these, and the countertop they were installed on was about 4" lower than the others in the kitchen. Otherwise, the cooktop would be too high for many.

I like how the burners are color coded to the switches.

Right! I pointed that out to my wife. I was apparently much more intrigued about this whole unit than she was.

These are really cool and pretty rare appliances.
We have an all brushed Chrome one installed in out museum kitchen, It is a really good range, the oven bakes beautifully.
These are probably rare because they were expensive, the dealer wholesale cost of these were almost $400 in 1960, it was the most expensive built-in cooking appliance on HPs price list.
All of these were brushed chrome but the oven door could be ordered in at least 6 different colors. You could also order this range with the burners on the left or right side, however everyone I have seen [ 3 now ] have the fold down burners on the left.

John, thank you for the information. If you know of anyone looking for one feel free to send them my way. My wife is going to want it out of the garage at some point in the near future.

If its allowed, feel free to make an offer. We might even be able to make a meet half way arrangement for delivery to save that cost and headache.

For years Hotpoint color coded the surface units and their switches.
