Classic range owners: "Show us what you got..."

Automatic Washer - The world's coolest Washing Machines, Dryers and Dishwashers

Help Support :

Thanks RCD. I love this stove, it cooks better than anything else I've ever owned.

I might be getting this soon (not a replacement for the O'K & M, I guess I've resigned myself to being a collector of old stuff that I can't use). Its local. The one I have (posted awhile back as a curb find) needs so much work that I would spend 5 times as much restoring it as the asking price for this one:

Here's my 1961 GE 40" range (ok, not actually MY range, as the photo of mine is too large to upload here. this is a photo I found on Ebay a while back of a range identical to mine). Two ovens, Sensi-Temp on the front left, lights pretty much everywhere, rotisserie and meat probe in the large oven.

Cool Ranges and Cookware!

Paul, I love your turquoise Club Aluminum cookware! My ex boss gave me a set, she had used the heck of it, but I loved it none the less. I used it for years until the handles started to crack and break. I was told it was because I washed them in the dishwasher, instead of washing them by hand.

Great ranges guys! I think a friend of mine while I was growing up parents might have had a Frigidaire Flair. There's was LP, and I remember the burners sliding in, but I think the oven door was black, and one of the burners had strange piece in the middle, his mom said it was a burner with a brain. This might have been some other brand, but it was one of the coolest stoves I had ever seen while I was growing up.
 
I have the same set of turquoise Club Aluminum and it is right at home on the flair, actually, in the 1962 product brochure I got with the range all the stoves had turquoise Club aluminum pans on the stovetops
 
When I was a kid the neighbors across the street had a wonderful Flair clone, but it was gas. I believe it was by Whirlpool - certainly a nice range and the burners did slide in and out. They also had a minty pair of slant-front Westys that were never used because they owned three or four laundromats. Sadly it was all sold when the owners died and their son sold the house.
 
1958 Frigidaire - charcoal grey

Look familiar? I got this from Greg a few years back. 40" Custom Imperial - double ovens. Distracts everyone from the ugly dishwasher!

Ben:

Yer darn tootin' that's sweet. 40-inch Stratoliners from that era are not all that rare; you might have to wait a bit for one to come up, but they do come up. But the 30-inch version - now that's a different kettle of wombats. Nice find. Nice find.

The one thing I've always wondered about on the 30-inch version was the provision for three small burners and one large one. Given that GE lavished every other feature of the 40-inch version (except the two ovens, of course) on the smaller model, it seems strange that they wouldn't provide two large and two small burners.

Anyway, as ever, your collection seems to be the one that has all the goodies I dream of!
 
WOW!

These are some really nice ranges! Gansky, that is one fantastic kitchen! And to think I wondered if anyone else had 'the sickness'...

Gary, that 'ugly' dishwasher is a real workhose BUT double check Maytag's website to make sure it isn't affected by the rinse aid recall...

Stratoliner Question:

Does anyone here with a Stratoliner know if the timers are still rebuildable? And if so, by whom?

P.S.: Greg, that's the first photo of your kitchen I've seen that shows the range hood. I had been thinking there wasn't one, and I wondered how you kept that kitchen so immaculate without it. That hood looks great with the range!
 
56 GE

One of these days this kitchen will be done!

This is Emma. ( for all of those that don't know me. I'm a freak and I name everything!
