Help ID this stove

[xraytech]

So, being the nosy one I was checking out the listing of a house down the road from me.
I most enjoyed the original kitchen cabinetry. The 40" electric range caught my eye as it looks in very nice shape. Just not sure what kind it is and hope someone here can help identify it and give input on it.
I may try to contact the agent to see if they would sell the stove

I can

only guess it's a Westy, but hey, it may be a Hotpoint, or a Kenmore too.

It’s a Westy, or maybe a Hotpoint, or a Kenmore

 

 

Boy that sure narrowed it down!  

 

Thanks so much for that super useful and helpful info Mike.

I don't think it's a Hotpoint.  My first guess would have been Philco, but Westinghouse might be a better answer.

I didn't think it was a Hotpoint myself.

 

[appnut]

I say Westinghouse

 

[twintubdexter]

Aren't those cabinets and counter tops nice?

 

[xraytech]

I was thinking the same Bob, but I'm only familiar with GE and Frigidaire

And yes the cabinets and counters are awesome.

And that refrigerator is just wrong. Love the Z-Brick and the ceiling fan!

If the Z-Brick in our kitchen was the "used" style, I probably wouldn't hate it so much.

 

It's a shame to think that such a well-preserved kitchen is going to be ripped out.  If the new owners are enlightened enough, maybe they'll be careful about it and either donate it to a ReStore type place or offer it on CL -- and not for $5K or whatever.

60s Westinghouse

I have a bunch of that chrome counter edging with the vinyl inserts, im going to use it when I re do my cabinet tops.

 

[vacerator]

yes,

that kitchen is identical to the one my sisters house in Trenton Michigan has.
It also still has a 60's GE 40 inch P7 range.
Gee wiz, one of us sure is feeling their oats today on here. Now that might be narrow enough.
After looking at several Westinghouse 60's range photos, the oven window indentation outline is Westinghouse.
Lets call it the Wilmerding crease.
Oh, and too bad they imploded the old Hulton bridge. That thing was art. They could have put Christmas lights on it.
I saw a roughed in refurbished home in historical Oakmont listed for $359,000 asking.

Here is the link to the listing so you can enjoy the whole house.

Thank's Sam!

The inlay kitchen floor is also classic. A well built home. Wet plaster, nice cove ceiling in LR. Beautiful lot.
Even the bath can be updated with a shade of grey paint to compliment the robin egg blue ceramic tile.

Differently A 60s Westinghouse Range

The ceiling fan-light is god awful ugly there was nothing available like that when the kitchen was built in the 50s and the Z-brick or what ever is, is also terribly out of place, you would never have built a kitchen with real brick above the cabinets like that.

 

Almost the saddest thing is someone might actually keep the kitchen thinking that it was a great design, LOL.

 

And yes Mike your help in identifying the stove was helpful, LOL.

 

[vacerator]

Thank's John!

You'll be the most gracious host in August I'm certain.

Next question,
How do these Westinghouse ranges perform?
And how are they in terms of reliability and ease of repair?

 

[appnut]

How do these Westinghouse ranges perform?

Hans can answer that question very well!!!

As for the bricks,

The people who lived there were probably fans of Gunsmoke, I have never seen a show that had so many fake bricks.

Vacerator, did you ever Drive on the old Hulton bridge? Kind of entertaining to feel it "bouncing" up and down in a traffic jam. Pretty as it was, it had to be replaced.
