The "Safetee" knob
My guess is that it locks all of the front panel controls out, so your 2-year-old can't turn a burner on while you're not looking.

Those burner elements look flat like Frigidaires. Perhaps they're interchangeable, but of course any Frigidaire burner won't have that fancy "N" logo in the center piece.
The shot of the medallion was enlarged to show detail which made the tube close to it look large. The elements are really two tubes wound in an outer circle and an inner circle. In thickness, they are between a Calrod and a Radiantube, similar to to the Westinghouse Corox of the time.
The bake element of the oven was no doubt an open coil with an evenizer over it. If it plugged in & out, check to see if the terminal block is still there; otherwise it is a wire in element. All of this, along with the model number, will help in finding you a bake element.

Thanks for the info on the Saftee switch - not having any little tikes around I guess I don't think of these kinds of things!
Tom - the terminal box for the oven element is there. It looks like the one on the top of the oven in which the broiler plugs into (the broiler is there - it is open coil). The model # is E-88, so I'll be on the lookout for an oven element.

My aunt had a 1950's gas rage that came with a house she bought in the 1970's.
It was a gas 40" wide range with a waist-high broiler on the left, and an oven on the right.
The "SAFE-T-KEY" looked like any other gas knob in the front of the stove. It was an actual removable key (with a a knob) that cut of all gas to the range and was removable.
The stove was kicked to the curb to become a Toyota when it popped a pipe and began leaking gas. So they say. I'm not sure I buy it.
On gas stoves the control knobs, in this country, tend to be in the front for safety. No sleeves dangling in flames. On electric stoves they tend to be up high in the rear on the backsplash, again for safety, to be out-of-reach of children. All knobs have been required to be push-to-turn for decades, again for safety.
Methinks the oven heating element can be anything as long as it fits (especially the holes to get the wires/terminals out of the oven) and is of simlar wattage.

Tom, I see what you mean about the burner elements. Replacements could be tough to find.
The oven element should be easier to get replaced. It won't likely be open coil anymore, though. When the original open coil oven element failed on the '49 Westinghouse, the replacement was Calrod, which while not original in looks, performed just fine.

My only concern is why do people always seam to mix appliances with sex???i never have the desire to screw a washer or even a blender.
" I never have the desire to screw . . . a blender"
Ouch!
Ouch!
Kevin, I looked up your stove and E88B is a 1952 model. I will see if I can find the part number of the bake element. That will help in finding what can be substituted.
Tom - thanks for researching - 1952 is good to know.
Hans - I LOVE THAT '55 of yours! Do the burner controls change color in the center depending on what setting it is on?? I recall seeing one of those many years ago and thought it was really cool. Also, is that a griddle in the center??

Yes, the center of the knob changes color ,and yes the center is a griddle, it is cast aluminum with the element cast in, it has terminals like an oven, so all you do is plug it in.
