This is our 1941 O'keefe and Merrit. We bought it from the original owner. It works great. We also use the mid to late 50's g.e. wall oven.

This is my dream stove. The one pictured is a 1953 O'keefe and Merrit Aristocrat. I don't have the room and the money. They are asking $12,000 for this stove.
The Aristocrat
They weigh as much as my car and take up nearly as much space but, oh, could I cook with one of those babies! Two ovens, two broilers, a warming oven, 6 burners.....heck, a person could run a restaurant with one. The Aristocrat's only rival would be the Magic Chef 6300, another "died and gone to heaven" dream cooker.

here is my mid 60's General Electric 40" range with P*7 oven I'm unsure of age but I'd assume between 66-68.
This is the stove my gram had for about 35 years before it died from a power surge, it was replaced by a 67 Frigidaire Custom Imperial. I paid only $30 for this GE

Those are both my dream stoves. Some Aristocrats have been selling on ebay for under $3000, in unrestored but good shape, over the past year.

That is one beautiful design. They kind of kept the same design cooktops through the years. I have also saw a few of those ovens through the years. I never saw that type of broil element, It looks very different!

Here's the Rolls Royce of cooking... imo the best ever made, imo. These are going in our cottage on Lake Champlain: both are circa 1956, the oven is NOS, never used, still has the wrapping paper on the broiler pan.

1956 Chambers gas cooktop (the small 27" model without griddle or broiler)
Chambers!
My Grandmother had a Chambers that was from the early 1950's like this one but hers was in white. Those ranges were so well made!

Does anybody here own one of those O&M ranges with the periscope window on the back panel that provides a view into the oven?
