A solidly built O'Keefe & Merrit with a pleasingly modern look.  Can't tell if it has two ovens or oven/grillevator.  I sure hope at least some of that back splash lights up.

Per the ad copy in the link, the claim is that the stove dates back to 1954.  I think it's probably a little newer than that, but not likely as late as 1960.

 

I sure hope these people with the free stoves I've posted are making sure they're not letting them go to the scrap heap.
 
I'm sure that if they bothered to post them on CL, then dumping them would be an unlikely result.

I would imagine the free ones are gone by now. Like I said, I'd jump on one of the gas ranges except my place is all about built-ins. I'd have to do a major remodel to accommodate a free-standing range... or let it sit by its lonely on the enclosed patio, which already sports a vintage Frigidaire Compact 30 drop-in electric range. I have a spare Modern Maid drop-in gas range to replace it, but still haven't run a gas line to that location (it's on my bucket list). When I do that, I might be able to convert the propane BBQ/Rotisserie on the other side of the brick wall to natural gas. Another bucket list topic. Also have an 80's era GE slide in glass top gas range as a backup for the Modern Maid should that one not work. In the meantime, the Frigidaire does just fine for the few times I use it. And it's probably a better choice for the occasionally breezy enclosed patio anyway.

Right now I'm pressure testing the new 8 qt. Tristar Power Pressure Cooker XL on the patio. It's got about six qts of cold water in it, so it will take some time to reach 12 lbs/in2. Maybe an hour. But it's not like this place is lacking in any way shape or form for cooking appliances...
