Philco electric range and refrigerator for sale in Wausau

[polkanut]

Just found these beauties on my local Craigslist.  Looks to be well taken care of.  The $250 price for the pair seems very reasonable as well.  Too bad there are no pics of the fridge though.

Never seen a Philco stove before that I recollect,  just fridges

If that stove and fridge were originally bought in Wausau they would've been purchased from Grebe's Hardware which is still going strong today.  Grebe's was started about 1946 by Art & Esther Grebe. (pronounced Greebee)  The store is now run by Art & Esther's son Roger, daughter Charlotte Richetto, grandsons Tim Grebe, and Steve Richetto.

That Stove!

Hans,

My grandparents had gray plastic tile in their kitchen, and we have it in a marbled beige in our bathroom.  When my sister moved into the grandparents house she and her ex-husband removed it.  I swear that stuff was welded to the wall.  Even after 50+ years that glue was not gonna let go.

Well, as long as we're gonna remodel their kitchen, I'd like those corner cabinets.

Mom and Dad have a bathroom that is pretty much covered in the white version of that marbleized plastic tile. It's held up well, except in a couple of places where it cracked.
