Philco or Norge Range at estate sale this weekend?

[peterh770]

Have a look thru the pics for this estate sale, and note the range in the kitchen. Is this a Philco? Norge maybe?

I like these southern country homes. so casual and homey.

The mix and match cabinets in the kitchen, the sunny yellow paint, the two prong outlets at 48" off the floor, the large windows, solid wood furniture, the large enclosed back porch. I'm guessing that the washer and dryer are installed permanently there, along with the freezer.

Your lucky to be there PeterH. There is something so charming and casual about the Southern lifestyle. White lattice panels, victorian ginger bread trim, and Designing Women come to mind.

I'm wondering if it is a Westy - the dials remind me of those that change background color as you increase/decrease the intensity for the burners.

That would be a great sale to attend; too bad I live so far away. That Westinghouse range looks like the one Lucy & Ricky Ricardo had on "I Love Lucy".

I have a 1951 Westy which is similar. Mine has been "re-worked" at some time & has a lot screwed up on it. It has recessed bottom oven units & is slow to preheat but bakes beautifully!! The surface units have fewer turns than my pushbutton GE & is slower. When you turn on any of the surface units, the top flourcent light comes on. Anyone haveing a 50 or 51 Westy, I need parts.
