Hans Alert! Monarch for sale, $100

[polkanut]

This has been re-listed for the umpteenth time.  I'm willing to bet that if Hans lived closer he might just have bought this already.

For $100, I would have bought it, if it were closer. Nice looking stove.

Its actually..

Post war, and You Bet I would!!!!!

Postwar?

Do you know what year? I would have bet that was '39 or so - it has that "we're trying to be streamlined, but the technology's still kinda clunky" look that so many products did back then.

If it's post-war it would have to be immediately afterwards.  I would think that by 1946 or so the designers were working overtime to upgrade their products.

Not Monarch!!

Most of their ranges used open coil top units and 3 heat switches until the early 50s!!!!Chromalox 5 heat units were optional!

BUT!!!

By the mid 50s Monarch had caught up!, Speed heat units, Color Lit Controls, Thermostatic units, a Griddle ETC, and by the 60s they introduced the first home convection oven!
