Well I think I have been there and done the 70's / Caloric / Gas / Double search and feel pretty good about the results. Here are some things I turned up that also may be of interest.
First up this bad boy...

The best may be last...
I say maybe because I am only guessing as the pic was found by me elsewhere.

(Craig's) Ad copy:

This 50-60 year old stove works and needs an investment of time.
-All 6 burners work
-Two ovens work
-Two broilers work
What needs the investment
-Electrical chord in the back needs to be replaced to enable outlet on stove to work
-3 of the burner covers are broken
-Some screws are missing and need to be replaced
-Dents and chips in the surface need touching up
Stove works well but current owner doesn't have the resources to fix it up and it's too much stove for our family's needs. Needs to be picked up.

Holy Schmit #26

Is that 36" or 40"?
Please tell me the top lifts off he base, otherwise, how would you move such a beast?

 

[daveamkrayoguy]

Thank you, "BoJack" for this topic & those finds!

Also referring to Post #26:

 

I find it hard to believe you would need that much width for four burners, in place of the usually-seen six--but back in an era where there really was "something built for everyone", no surprise!

 

Now to see which ranges would be in which of the four available colors for my hypothetical project from my book HOW TO BUY MAJOR HOME APPLIANCES (by Charles Klamkin) depicting if a number of houses were to actually buy Kalmkin's recommendations and if there were enough basic appliance provisions in every configuration & even model (Fridge, Dishwasher, Washer, Dryer, Freezer and Gas/Electric range) for the kitchen & laundry of each of those homes... (Ranging (no pun intended) from 8, to 16, to 24 households, so far!)

Thanks Jeff

But that GE is actually a 1955 model.

*************************************************************************

Another, nothing too special as far as I can tell. I found a few far more recent ones that were probably made by someone else.
I like some Hardwick's too, I did find a couple of good ones a few months ago and I added the pics to this post.

HELLO ROBERT,

You sure are GOOD at rooting these appliances out.

I'm looking for a Maytag Early 60's A700 / 701 Turquoise
washer. I have the Dryer.

The closer to NJ the better. I would rather be able to
pick it up than have to pay shipping. Got so much else
going on to get settled in the house.

Not of immediate need, but I would like an Electric Sink/DW
combo -- Kaiser / Hotpoint? No rush, but if one was w/in
driving distance and the price is right, I may jump earlier
than I need to.

THANKS for being so kind and doing All this "legwork"

Best Washes,

Louis

You want NIB? You want a certain vintage brand/ model/ color? Oh, and ya want it near you?
Fahgedaboutit! I suggest you invent a time machine cause that's you best hope...said with all due respect of course.
I will do a search for NIB and see what's out there.
