Coolerator ??????????

[toploader55]

Well, Here on the Cape years ago, One of the relatives of Kelvinator got into a fight with Uncle Kelvy and moved to the Cape.
He then went on to build only a few appliances.

Thank God for CL, because I believe we have a one of a kind here.

Here it is...New for 1952...The Coolerator Range.

Or was it Kelvinator ???

Coolerator was a division of International Telephone & Telegraph (IT&T, or later, just ITT) located in Duluth, Minnesota. They were most known for making iceboxes -- refrigerators that used blocks of ice instead of mechanical refrigeration, as it was then called. At some point, they started making other appliances. It was a growth industry after WWII. One of our Australian friends posted pics of his Coolerator mecahnical fridge a couple of years ago.

IT&T also made Capehart and Farnsworth radios and TVs.

I have heard of Coolerator

but I did not think they made Ranges.
You know how CL posters put up some informative ads LOL.

Thanks for the info

I have an old Better Homes & Gardens with an ad for range touting the timing device that could control 5 different parts of the stove: the master oven, the smaller oven, the giant 8 inch surface unit, the deepwell or the appliance outet. Thanks for the link.
