.....if its in luxurious PINK!
wow
wow
That stove has been for sale for a LOOOONG time. They think they have a treasure when it's really just an old pink stove. What's that beside the 8" element? Either it's serious porcelain damage or just nastiness like the missing 6" element. That was probably the Super Corox element and the element and the control died. I'll bet the oven look like the aftermath of the Chicago fire. The stove does not look like it has been well cared for.

Um....
You can be sure only if you inspect this one in person.
That stove has been ridden hard and put away wet. Could be correctable, but you won't find that out from the photo.
Looks more like a $50 stove than a $500 stove.

My Grandads cousin...
Had this stove and matching fridge, only in white, they won them at Belks Dept Store in a drawing!

Our Belk Gallant did not sell appliances. Another BORING store to be dragged into as a child.

No... Belk didnt sell appliances
They just had somekind of contest and gave away the Westinghouse stuff...Belks was here as there a Charlotte NC based clothing store, they had partners such as the store you mentioned but were a NC company, I remember going to there main store in Charlotte as a kid and thinking it was the biggest store I ever saw.

Hans, as we traveled through the south in the 50s and early 60s, we would see billboards for Belk's, but they had different last names after Belk, I guess reflecting the partnernships in various cities. At least that was the answer we got from our folks when we asked. Stores without hard goods are just too boring.
Belk's
In Hattiesburg, MS it was the Belk-Whitley Co. Went there with my mom several times when I was a kid.

There was a Belk-Tyler in Goldsboro (NC).

Little wonder the corox is gone, lining the entire pan overconcentrates heat. That hole in the middle isn't a drain.
I was wondering about energy use, with that big ole oven? My way of thinking is 2 smaller ovens would be more flexible. I have an uncle that cooks his 4 biscuits in the morning every day. I do not know about wattage and kilowatts, it would seem it would be an energy guzzler for day to day living. We have 2, 30 inch ovens including the stove in the basement, we use it in the hot summer to save on A/C. I would seldom cook that much food at one time and all of it at the same temperature. The westinghouse is a novelty, I can see them in church fellowship halls. Thoughts? alr

Typical oven element is 3KW. It runs for 10min to reach bake temp, then 2 min out of every 10 to maintain. Biscuits might take 12 min, or 1/5th of an hour. 1/5th x 3KW is 0.6KWh. A KWh costs (national average) 12 cents. 12c x 0.6 = 7.2 cents. $0.072 x 30 = $3. That's what it costs your uncle to make biscuits for a month.
Yes, smaller costs marginally less. But many utilities charge more than $3 taxes, fees or line charges having nothing to do with consumption.
What runs the electric bill up are things that draw kilowatts for HOURS. Like a fridge is just short of a kilowatt and runs roughly 12hr/day. That's 360KWh a month, x 12c = $43.20.
So you see, while an oven uses several KW, it seldom does so for more than a half hour. Whereas a fridge uses one KW, but does so for 12 hours. For a ratio of 1.5KW to 12KW or in very round numbers, the fridge uses 10 times as much just running as the oven does making biscuits. So it "almost doesn't matter" how efficient the oven is. It DOES matter how efficient the fridge is because it operates 24 times longer per day.

Very welcome.
The underlying formula for cost to operate anything electrical is (label Watts) (divided by 1000) x hours it actually runs x $0.12.
There's all this kvetching about digital clocks and standby appliances running up your bill. Both are on the order of 3W. 3W / 1000 = 0.003 x 24hr = 0.072 x $0.12 = $0.00864 per day. X 30 days = $0.2592 a month. Twenty six cents.
We see how these things get exaggerated in the media.
