I wish that I or someone here could find an ad for my grandmother's Crosley electric range of unknown vintage. I've never seen another one like it.

My former neighbor Thelma got a set of Ekco Flint cookware when she and her husband Nelson married in 1954. She used it until she passed away about 10 years ago. It still looked like new.

I've seen a few ads for National Homes.
Were they designs/plans, or pre-fab/modular homes?

Bob, my mom still has a few pieces left from a set she bought in the 1950's.

The best description of National Homes is "panelized". The components were produced in a factory, and assembled at the job site. There is a development a couple blocks from me that is National, and were built in the mid 50's.

Barry, it is my understanding theses homes were semi-stick built by dealer/builders.

I grew up in a town
that was chock full of National homes. Dime a dozen in fact. I'd wager that 90% are still standing today so they must have done something right.
The main factory was in W Lafayette IN I think it is a Wabash National plant now, not sure on that one.
