Inspired by Customline's Customline (link in the link for those of you who don't remember a 2011 post), and after more time web-surfing than wise, we've bought a Customline oven (and the cooktop that was part of the deal). The oven appears to have the rotisserie and the meat probe thermometer!
I haven't seen them in person yet -- we'll have to wait until Thanksgiving when we head north. (We got our brother-in-law to do the pick up.) I have spent a lot of time looking at the blurry photos on fb Marketplace. I think that it's a 1957, or possibly a 1956? (But were there windows in 1956 Customline ovens? All the 1956 ads I've found were window-less. The handle is above the nameplate, which is above the window. The cooktop controls look more like a 1957 than a 1956, based on the advertisements. By 1958, the ads show the handle right next to the window, with the flying H underneath the oven.) Advertising from 1956, 1957, and 1958 as photos 8-11.
I haven't found a way to translate the catalog number, which is probably 20RJJ11, into a year.
Anyway, I'm excited to think about next steps!

The Hotpoint Customline oven is finally in !!!!!!
Here it is folks. My '57 Customline is working and finally part of the family. A few shots of the internals, new thermostats and extra built in goodies. Thanks again to all the AWO members who helped make this possible. First shot is with the Newly installed Nutone oven exhaust fan.
