And another one!
This St George is from the eighties - another precious classic that is wanting a new and loving home.
I hope someone will rescue this.

spell 'across' - but wait, there is more! Here is another, younger St George (circa 1980's)wanting a good home.
Don't you just love those classic lines?

They're great but what about these Simpson beauties
In line with the Frigidaire Flair models,

And here is another one - this time with nice big pictures and in luscious brown.
Feast you eyes and imagine yourselves cooking away on this hot little number.

That brown Supermatic is just gorgeous! Would that have been a convection oven? I like the racking arrangement - they look very substantial. The elements and arrangement on the top remind me of Philco - not as wide as Frigidaire and Philco had a few different patterns for their elements than the usual four close together or wide-spread as most other ranges.
St George has been always a slut 
St George has always rebadged other appliances as their own. The late model stoves would've either been direct imports from the US, or manufactured in NZ after GMH Fridgidaire shifted appliance production over there in the mid 70's.
St George still exists, but they rebadge Euro products for cooking, and LG or Smeg clones for most of their Microwaves. They are now mainly sold through Kleenmaid dealers, who are also the kings of rebadging in Laundry and dishwashing appliances.
On all of these, that I've seen, the large oven is Fan Forced (Convection) We looked at buying the BNE one to replace Michaels mothers Elevated range, but to do so, would've involved pulling out some of her kitchen cabinets, and we couldnt convince her in time Instead I've bought a 50's fridge thats in Sydney and identicall to the one my grandparents had for 40 years. I'll post pics when it arrives.
This sort of stove, was very uncommon here in AU. The only kitchens that usually had this much space, were those that had wood combustion stoves, or fireplaces. Otherwise most stoves were traditionally 60cm wide and square. It wasnt until the 80's when the cooktop and walloven craze took over and kitchen remodels started getting builtin appliances.

From the looks of the above photos, and also from the general lack of interest after they were posted, I'm guessing these parts are from a commercial type unit, and not a home unit in a cabinet.
I'm also guessing that nobody would be outraged if I were to haul the remains (minus the front name plate and the cool rotary "IRON/PRESS" switch) to the dump...?
