Electra Mid 1970s
And actually the last gasp for English Electric as a stand alone brand (rather than a label stick on Hotpoints) it was branded Electra for sale through electricity boards - this is a direct descendant of the Rapide series cookers. And the only British manufacturer of the time to offer a coloured appliances (as opposed to white or variations of black and stainless steel) - others came after but I believe this to be the first. They also came in green and brown

GEC
I don't know a great deal about GEC cookers I mist admit as many did not seem to make their way to NI where I grew up. I would date this one at mid- late 1960s

A couple of Percs
A Russell Hobbs Stainless Steel Perc was mentioned in a thread recently, here are a couple more - late 150s/early 1960s - actually I thought this was a Morphy Richards - just shows what little I know!

Ceramic
A long standing RH design, available in plain finish or to match many popular tea sets of the time - I have the same design with matching heated milk jug in the Poppy design, a set my parents had.

Not just the brochure .....
but the kitchen too. Never heard of this lot before, the appliances are a lot more modern than the units

Well
Apparently, at the time of writing, there are 13 people watching this.
Personally I would not take £1000 to take it away, never mind pay it.

Same seller as last time
And just the thing to complement that tasteful kitchen, a tasteful bar! I don't doubt the owner thought them the epitome of style and luxury. Stunning is probably the right word, but maybe not in the sense they mean it

1980s version of the same cooker

Belling Classic
The ranges are coming out of the woodwork this week. 1960-61 would be around the right age for this cooker - needs a good clean, but could be a beauty when it is done.

A variation on a theme
Never seen one of these before - 1950s, based on a standard cooker, this would have been considered the acme of luxury
