Strange stove I have never seen before!!!

[norgeway]

I first read this ad and scratched my head.....its only about 20 miles from me, he says he has 2 vintage stove, a GE and a Philco.....I then read the rest of it, the pictures are NOT of his stoves, but the genius says they are similar, well, ill buy that for a GE, but that sideways picture is no Philco, and doesnt resemble anything ive ever seen before, where he got the pic is what I want to know!!!!!anyone have a clue what it is???

The Stove says "Acme".....

Looks like it was a wood stove manufacturer also, not sure if the same thing actually...

Surfing google looks like a brand common in Canada... so Canadian?

Wile E Coyote's brand....

 

[kenmoreguy89]

Acme cartoons brand!

Yep! I thought the same thing!
Every bombs and stuff he pulled out were Acme brand! Also the bird seeds if I remember right.

If the range's model# is correct, it is a 1957 40" Philco, but the idiot did not even furnish correct pics--says he will get them later.

That Acme is a pretty range, too bad he doesn't have one. LOL

BUT!!!!???

Who DOES have it????

 

[tomturbomatic]

It has early Chromalox elements and that knob between the clock and the other big thing on the backsplash looks very Kelvy-Leonard. It has an early Robertshaw thermostat with the BAKE signal light on the right side of the dial and the broil light on the left side of the dial and if you turn the thermostat to BROIL and then back to the desired temp, both the bake and broil elements come on for an automatic preheat. The broil element will cut out before the selected temp is reached to prevent overshoot.

To me it looks very GE, with my limited knowledge of stoves. The buttons on the top and the light switch on the door is what makes me guess GE.

 

[tomturbomatic]

The first one is a GE. You are right. It is the ACME range that is making its first time appearance.

Can't get enough graffiti from freeway overpasses?

Here ya go. I think this qualifies as a strange stove. For sale on the Inland Empire (Redlands) Craigslist..."make offer." I didn't think it was necessary to post a link.

Whoa! Love it!

Now THIS is my style ;-)
Put a PANK (punk) pressure cooker on it and it is mine.

A gas welder, some steampunk UV goggles and a white apron "weird scientist" style... et voilà!
Crème brulée for the underground scene. Ready for the chainsaw mascara.
HA! ;-)

It looks like one of those 1950's era Hotpoint 30-inch wide stoves that had the tiny narrow accessory side oven/rotisserie. me like.

Ohmigod, it's Punky Brewster's stove or maybe from Beat Street Electric Bugaloo II Shades of Blue.
