Here is an ad I found for my Chambers Imperial, about mid-1930s:
That Brown in turquoise 
is very cool. We had friends years ago that were living in a trailer while building their own log cabin home in the hills along the Missouri river in Iowa. They had this range and a matching refrigerator (can't recall the brand now) but theirs were yellow. They had a nice fan above the range - you could see the ground outside the spinning (knives) blades! (sorry, Peter, it is a range thread after all ;-)

1959 Frigidaire RCI-75-59
This Frigidaire is a gorgeous range, just spectacular - like all turquoise usually is. I had this in the kitchen until a couple of weeks ago when I switched it out with the 57 pink GE. Change them like handbags for the season? Perhaps, but they are both too pretty to choose between them...

Here is the 1957 GE. The kitchen remodel - woods, colors, etc. were pretty much planned and executed around this range.
wow Greg your kitchen looks great. I love those cabinets and handles.
40 inch ranges!
Greg your kitchen looks great with either the Frigidaire or GE range and I love the cabinets!

Tappan 1977!
This one is cool but if the stove or the microwave breaks you are stuck with the other. They show 3 verisions 2 electrics and one gas with only continious cleaning in the gas.

This one looks to have a warmer on top with a continous cleaning oven! Nice styling! I also like the fact the broiler is in the oven. I never liked broiler drawers below!

Brown, "elderly/handicapped"
WRT the above posting about Brown ranges.
After perusing the online catalog, I can't discern the difference between their regular line and their "elderly/handicapped" offerings.
Anyone have any insight?
