Just what the doctor ordered
The seller is mistaken; this isn't a 1954 model, but a 1961 or 1960 earliest. It doesn't make the stove any less wonderful, in fact, for me, it makes it better.
I'm tempted sorely; I've always wanted one of these, but basement space is disappearing almost as fast as the money. Just love those "dinner dials" and my coveted GE rotisserie. I like how these stoves had the same "pedestal" styling as the laundry appliances of the same vintage. I wish I had bought a house with a garage or a barn.
