Penncrest High/Low Range

[pulltostart]

Appears to be self-cleaning lower oven; the badge claims "Radiant Clean".  Late 60's/early 70's Harvest Gold.  Maybe a Roper product?

 

$100 in Atlanta, GA.

No, GE--JC Penney's Penncrest products were made by its Hotpoint division...

Dave is right, this is their version of the Americana range. The three easy ways to tell - wide border around cooktop, where surface unit controls were mounted on earlier models; oven light toggle on upper right of door; shape and construction of window in lower door. Each exactly the same as GE.

and to memorialize the department in which this was bought...this was apparently at Washington Mall in Washington, PA (south of Pittsburgh)

I's love to walk in that store and shop.

And another tidbit from an old JC Penney annual report, including a depiction of a Penncrest Hallmark (!) stove
