Doesn't Seem to Need Much....

If you're into rarity, this is a nice range.

It appears to be 1955-58, somewhere in there, from the styling, and it looks as if it could be GE-based. The oven temp knob appears to be a replacement, and there is something missing from the control panel; you can see an oddly-shaped hole where something is supposed to snap or twist into place.

Aside from those things, she's a remarkable old girl. I never saw an oven temp knob sprouting from the middle of a clock/timer unit before. That must have been fun to fix when it went wonky.
 
I think what is missing is the fourth burner control...

It looks like the four knobs that are present are three burner controls, with the oven function knob in the center... and the missing fourth burner control would center that oven knob.

Just my guess.

I agree with Sandy that it appears very GE-esque. And must be pretty rare!
 
Jeff:

Now that you said that, I think you're right. I wonder if someone stuck that oven temp knob in the middle of the clock dial to conceal a bare shaft sticking out?

So, now we're talking a burner control and a matching knob.
 
 

 

What's missing is a knob and switch for either a burner or the oven. Most likely the oven.  As for the knob on the clock, it seems the clock mechanism  was either removed (there are no hands) or they just slipped on any knob that would fit.
