The push buttons look like a GE but the rest of the range looks like a Frigidaire. Is this a GM built stove ?
No, not GM
This was made by the Crosley division of Avco Mfg. Co., which also owned Bendix Appliances, American Kitchens, and radio and tv stations. They also made automobiles in the late 40's to early 50's. The factory was located on Arlington St. in Cincinnati. I pass by it on my way to work.
The switches were likely made by GE.

Very cool Tom, thanks.
Those are 7 heat switches, also seen on Roper electric ranges in the 60s. They could have been made by ITT, International Telephone and Telegraph who owned Coolerator which not only made refrigeration products, but very fully featured electric ranges with timer controls for the ovens, the front 8" surface unit, the deep well and the convenience outlet on the TOL model. It was a beautiful early 50s range.
On 5 heat switches medium high was approximately half the heat of High. With a 7 heat switch, there was a step in between with one setting a little more and one setting a little less than half wattage. Likewise there was a step between medium and low, sort of a medium-low. They had all of the flexibility of infinite heat switches without the complications that could lead to switch failure and still worked with two separate inter-wound coils.

Were the Coolerator ranges made in their Duluth plant?
The ad in the December, 1951 BH&G says to write for information to Duluth, Minnesota.
