An antique.... That is being reborn

[classicguywi]

A good friend of mine recently acquired an antique stove. It is a Hotpoint by General Electric.... Doing some digging around we have not been able to pin down an idea of how truly old this beauty is.

The model number is 19CRA59
The serial number is E18557

The stove is almost 100% working, the only thing missing is the timer/ clock set that plugged into the back, seeing as this part is missing, the "automatic" outlet has been jumppered out.

Hops ya enjoy the pics

"Circa 1931 I'd say."

Judging by this Christmas, 1930 shot of an appliance-store window featuring Hotpoint, you may well be right:

It's a Shorpy.com photo from the Library of Congress (public domain, Robert!); I had saved it to my hard drive eons ago.

Nice it found a use!
