Caloric Ultramatic Indentification

[kenmore71]

I'm wondering if anyone out there can help ID the approximate year of manufacture of this Caloric 40" ultramatic range? I was at a neighbor's house for a halloween party (thus the funky light bulb) and told them that i would do a little research for them. Caloric ranges are out of my area of expertise! The fact that it contains a fluorescent light would lead me to believe that it is most likely a post-WWII design which would mean no earlier than about 1948. I would also say that it is NO LATER than 1955.

According to my research Mark...

Caloric made this model of range from 1955 to 1959/1960. I have seen print as for it from no earlier that 1955 and no later than 1959. The 1961 Caloric Ultramatic Range had a different control panel then the one your neighbor has as does the 1954 model that preceded it.... below is the picture of the 1955 model..........PATRICK COFFEY

Well, guess I was a little off on the years.
Caloric wasn't as futuristic looking in the late 1950s as Frigidaire & GE were...
Thanks for the help!!!

My cousin has the same stove.

<span style="font-size: medium;">Except her's has a window in the oven door. Her's is a 1957 model. There's an ad for it somewhere in the Vintage Appliance Advertisements threads. </span>

I need to identify these parts!

I have a Caloric Ultramatic. I had laid all the parts out where they go and was getting ready to clean everything and put it back together. Then the cleaners came and moved everything around. I've figured out everything except these two parts. Does anyone know where they go?

Reply number six caloric parts

Hi Joseph, how large are those parts you pictured, are they porcelain covered steel?

Where do you think they came from inside the door under the cooktop, etc.
