Neat Caloric Range
We have almost the same one except ours is Self-Cleaning and has the meat thermometer and rotisserie feature here at the museum.
Ours is about the first SC gas range Caloric built and it has four constant burning pilots so my good friend Hans would approve.

Yeah, well, they obviously conceded defeat in that battle some time back.

My parents had that range back in the 70's. Oddly, keeping the knobs clean wasn't too big a deal. But the broiler pilot at the top of the oven blew out all the time. Not enough ventilation under the lift up cooktop, so the 2 burner pilots rusted it out in about 10 years. Pilotless ignition came a little later, and would have been a big improvement.

I feel like I've seen that same range in those same surroundings for sale before.Anyone remember that, or maybe they used the same photos for the listing?
Anyway kind of surprising to me that a range with this many features would still have pilots. But an interesting range definitely.
Was there a reason some Calorics used these wire-like burner grates and some used the more typical ones? They have sort of a Euro appearance, to me.
