I recently saw a similar 30" Tappan in someone's basement.

My uncle's 1954 Frigidaire RT.38.C range.

I would like to get full line brochures on all these models!

Of course! My favorite...--,
--The CALORIC gas ranges seem to be the worst! And the late-'60's to '70's when I thought they looked their BEST!
And although the '50's to mid-'60's were the most reliable as they were elegant, they lacked the benefit of self-cleaning!
The Westinghouse upper/lower-double, there, is a nice range and a shame those ranges had always long-been second-fiddle to the ever-more popular GE (and unfortunately the clock-timer was notoriously just "one" of the things that went wrong with 'em!)...
Nice stoves & I love seein' 'em, so,--PLEASE!--put up more!

Can anyone comment on weather this is a good or bad design? I am interested in any experiences!

You FIND me one!
And I will put it in my kitchen, my cousin had one of these for years, the only thing not handy about it is its not practical for very large pots, but normal use...its great!!

Oh my gosh! I haven't seen one of those since the 60's. I remember two of them from my childhood. One was either a free-standing or slide-in unit, the other was a surface unit with a separate wall oven. I agree; with only one larger element and the burners being closer together plus the step, it wasn't good for large pots like a canner. But, I thought it was a pretty cool arrangement! I think I remember my mother commenting on it once, saying that for someone like her who is "vertically challenged" the lower level in the front made it much easier to see inside a pot or to stir things.
I'd forgotten about these!
I used one in college in a house I took care of for a summer. My friends thought the layout was interesting. But only one big burner. Why did they do that for so many years? This range even made it into the self-cleaning years. An old flame had one in his kitchen in avocado with a self cleaming oven.
It's kind of a play on the "terrace-top" commercial saute burner stations in commercial kitchens.

I would like to see more models of this type. Somehow I cant picture this as a cooktop surface unit. I only saw this in free standing ranges.

LOTS OF GREAT RANGES
Some notes,
All the pictured Corning smooth-top ranges were made by Corning, only on the first couple of years were the ovens made by GM Frigidare, but buy about 1970 they made thier own complete range and it was OK but not a Frigidare. These Corning ranges were later sold under the Amana name also.
Doug that WH hi-low range on Ebay is very neat [ did everyone notice it has the WH stirrer on the right front burner? ] I weren't 3000 miles away I would be going after that one, I hope someone from the club gets it.

Hot water dispenser ranges!
I would like to see better pictures with more specs - does anyone have any?
Thanks,

I have never seen a range with a hot water dispenser. I'm wondering if there is a water reserve somewhere or if it needs a water line connection like a refrigerator?
EDIT:
I got the answer on Google... But I'm still wondering where's the storage tank and if it requires a pump to get water there!

The hot water dispenser would have been connected to the house's plumbing just like a refrigerator's automatic icemaker. My hunch is the 2 quart reservoir (about the size of a 1/2 gallon milk jug) was located at the back of the range behind the bottom storage drawer, or possibly somewhere behind the backsplash panel.
Speaking of frigidaire!
I figured I would download a few!
