I Love Lucy without the WH range in the kitchen!

I would have sworn the upside-down sign AND the "I did" were scripted.

Don't Know How This Applies

But remember reading somewhere that the oven was switched for the "bread baking" episode because one was needed without a back. This was to push the other end of that prop bread as Lucy opens the oven door.

The Stove in the bread making episode

was a WESTINGHOUSE!!!! they may have switched the original stove out for one without the back or the guts but it was still the SAME model of WESTINGHOUSE!!!! PAT COFFEY

I should say it is...

The very same model is in my kitchen.

The very same model was in my kitchen at the same time it was on TV. 9 feet of bread never came out of it though. Not all at once anyway.

Just having the back cut out for the bread scene wouldn't make it necessary to replace the stove. Neither would the rice spill. I think they had such thing as pressure washers back then. And the stove didn't have to work. On B/W TV, how can you tell whether an electric stove is working or not?

Notice they switched to the pushbutton door fridge for a season, then back to the original?

Now here's the REALLY hard ILL appliance question. The Ricardos got a new washing machine (we never saw) and sold the old one to the Mertzes. The badge on it said "Eperway" but pretty sure that was just made up, so they wouldn't get sued when it was shown malfunctioning. What brand WAS it?

Launderall

The washer Lucy sold to Ethel was a Jacobs Launderall that had been modified.

Thanks, pretty obscure. Obviously gutted so a stuntman could squat inside and toss clothes out.

Here is an AW thread on that washer...

<span style="font-size: medium;">It was actually a Horton 500 Automatic made by Lauderall. </span>

I passed this link along to our friends on the IMDB ILL board with an invitation to join us. They're an informed and civil group.

You guys have much better memories then me I guess. I remember the Westinghouse stove in both apartments (they swapped with a neighbor who had a 2 bedroom) but for some reason I seem to remember 2 different refrigerators.

Actually they had three different fridges...all Westinghouse....The second one had the electric door latch that you just touched very lightly and the door would swing open....which was great if your hands were full. My 1957 GE fridge has a foot pedal that accomplishes the same thing and it is very handy I must say....PAT COFFEY
