Those were Roper-made. Some houses on my street built about 1955 had the gas version of this. I saw one of these electrics at an estate sale down in University Park near the U of MD. It is a beautiful range with 7 push button heats on the surface units, but it would have the Roper ovens with no top heat during baking.

This is!

A 50 or 51 model, 41 1/2 inch wide.

 

[tomturbomatic]

41.5 inches wide!

I don't care what you rubbed on the sides, that was not going into the space for a 40 inch stove. The term Brobdingnagian comes to mind.

Beautiful stoves! This appears to be the slightly updated model, note the dash design and knobs...

... versus the slightly earlier model, with the darker blue clock and buttons, and earlier knobs... Either would be a stunning addition to a kitchen, and a nice mate to the frog eyes!

Notice!

Kenmore...along with Norge Kelvinator and a few others had 7 heat selections to GE and Hotpoint as well as Westinghose and Philcos 5 heat switches!!
