Nice

Anyone know what brand the cooktop and oven are? They're not at all familar looking to me.

Also, the door hardware is not what I'm used to seeing on AK cabinets. Wondering if they are replacements or if these are a later version. Most I've seen are round knobs with a plastic backplate.

dichwasher all originals and all in great working order

I didn't relize Maytag began making reverse-rack all pushbutton models in the 1950s.

Cooktop and oven..

Are American kitchens, I dont have any proof of it but I think Crosley and American Kitchens were both owned by the same company so Crosley may have had something to do with them.

AVCO

Hey Hans,
AK, Crosley and Bendix were all part of AVCO Mfg. Co. Their cabinet plant was in Connersville, IN.

The only type stove I've used with coils that looked like that were a Hotpoint. I cannot say if the cooktop in the photos is Hotpoint, though.

No Hotpoint!

Hotpoints and GEs had a much thinner unit called a Calrod, these are TK Monotubes, very much like what was used on Frigidaires before the WCI takeover.
