O'Keefe & Merritt Stove---Free!!

[ddw]

I have a double oven O'Keefe & Merritt stove that I need to get rid of. I believe it's a 1969 model, from what I can tell from the owner's manual. You can have it for FREE!! You must come pick it up and load it, yourself. If no one is interested, it'll go to the dump. The location is Riverside, CA 92505.

Oh WHYYY!

Cant it be on the east coast!!!

 

[vacerator]

Just like

every vintage car I want is on the west coast also.
However, it's a Tappan, and you may be able to find a nice vintage Tappan double oven gas model from the same late 60's to mid 70's vintage on the eat coast.

Stove Brand

No, vacerator, it's not a Tappan. It is indeed an O'Keefe & Merritt:

Didn't Tappan Own O&M?

I think vacerator is implying that the same stoves, branded as Tappans, may have been available back east.
We are lucky here in California, there are so many classic stoves available,some even given away. Thousands, apparently, still seeing daily use, readily available on Craigslist.

What is the working condition of it?

 

[vacerator]

Yes,

Tappan owned O&M,(by this time) and this range was built by Tappan in Mansfield Ohio.
Only the burner drip pans and brand script differ.

Working Condition

Countryford, everything works. The top oven takes quite a while to preheat, though.
