Philco...

Was a really well built range,heavy and durable!

Philco is an old name in electric ranges. When my father's parents lived on the farm in the 40s, there was no gas and they had a Philco electric range. I found the owner's manual in my grandmother's cookbooks and asked her about it and that was why she had it.

This range certainly looks to be from the very early 50s.
