Anyone know I'm guessing the gas is really caloric and electric is GE?

Gansky - do you have a set of manuals for the '59 Frigidaire? I've got the original set tucked away and could scan them at some point if you are in need...

The Sears gas is a Roper I believe. The electric looks WP to me.
I do have manuals for my 59 Frigidaire - thank you though!
The Wards "flameless" ranges were made by Tappan. I always thought that was one of the most stylish 30" ranges of the time. One of my grandmother's neighbors had one the just lod Interesting that the self-clean model didn't, or couldn't have a window.
Found this Maytag shot. Looks like a barkcloth pattern, doesn't it?

My Aunt Eloise had the Kenmore electric model, but in Avocado. They got it when they built the new house in '71, which replaced the one lost to Huricane Camille. Always thought it was made by Roper, but maybe it was a Whirlpool.

Imperial Ranges
That's the first time I've ever seen an ad for Imperial. I have a gas countertop range and wall oven of that make from the early 1960s in my apartment. Stainless! The landlord wanted to upgrade with new appliances, I told him N-O. My stuff works just fine.
BTW, the model is wearing a classic "12-roller set" from the 60s. We hairdressers used to love 'em - in and out in 45 min.

My grandmother had a conventional Hotpoint range from about 1966 with the Teflon panels...it was a very noisy range (when walking by)...it had wire racks (duh) which fitted into wire side shelves (instead of formed porcelain-coated-steel), with the teflon panels behind. It rattled as you walked by or opened the door, but was easier to clean. Had the oven element burn out in 1993 when I was living with her--it pitted the teflon on the bottom liner. (I replaced the element). Only other weirdness...it had 5 heat burners with knobs (click-click-click) but no pilot light for the rangetop.
GE 1960!
Here is what looks to be a nice range!

Isn't that the same range - Tappan (or Wards?) convection that John has on his back porch? We turned it on a year ago, that thing can really put out some heat.
