That 40-incher....
....Is a screaming deal for someone who can handle Coppertone. I find it too difficult to keep sparkling clean; it shows fingermarks worse than stainless.
The companion oven seems to have the lift-off liners that go in the main oven for self-cleaning, greatly easing the job of cleaning the companion oven.
The price is very right, too.

Wow

usually when the get a nice piece in, the price is high, but not as much as on Craigslist where a seller would ask at least $1,000...they cut prices on items that are not selling after awhile..and gas stoves seem to sit there the longest

Sandy the 40" coppertone
I can see the side walls look like they are removable, but what about the oven floor portion? It's a beautiful deep copportone.

I'm not sure if this is the removable-wall version or if something is just not right with the liner on the little oven.
GE always did make a nice Coppertone, if you like Coppertone.

That is a removable lower panel in the companion oven. The secret to keeping coppertone sparkling is that after washing and rinsing it and wiping it dry is to give it a final wipe with some vinegar to kill all tendency of streaks.

I know about the vinegar trick and it does work.
Until the next time someone touches the appliance. I found Coppertone to have the same problem showing fingermarks as stainless, only maybe even more so.
When I left home, I didn't waste much time trying to acquire some of the glamorous Coppertone appliances I had envied other people - my mom was a firm believer in White, so the grass was copperier on the other side of the fence, right? Well, I found a Coppertone range and fridge and prepared to settle into glamorous bliss....
NOT. It was a struggle from first to last to keep the damn things looking sparkling. I rid myself of them at the first opportunity, and have tried to stick to White ever since.

Drool... The GE set for $40 is a steal... The brushed-stainless cooktop is like the one I remember best from our country house in the Eastern Townships when I was a brat. And a turquoise oven, well, that just trumps everything... LOL

These are great prices - the poppy stove is really nice. I need that small cottage with a lot of rooms. LOL.

Poppy Frigidaire Drop-In Range
Thanks for posting these Jerry, I bought the Poppy range this afternoon. I had wanted an Electra-Clean Frigidaire range for the Museum kitchen as well as a good example of Poppy, YAY.

That's a very nice range John!
I'm curious about the clock, it looks like a very early model from the first series of Compact 30 ranges (1962).
The range itself should be a<span style="font-size: 16.3636360168457px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16.3636360168457px;">1975 RBE 533, </span><span style="font-size: 16.3636360168457px;"> </span><span style="font-size: 16.3636360168457px;">a 1973-74 RBE3-533W, or </span><span style="font-size: 16.3636360168457px;">a </span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">19</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">71</span><span style="font-size: 12pt;">-72 RBE-533P (the 1969-70 version had a different "lock" knob for the oven door, see the last pictures for the early type).</span>
The 1975 RBE-533 (in which the "E" stands for "Electri-Clean") has the exact same model number as the 1962-1963 RBE-533 (in which the "E" was designating the production years), I'm wondering if the timer was replaced at some point and the replacement timer was ordered for a 1962 range by error!
The two first pictures show the 1975-style RBE-533 clock, the third one shows the clock on my RBE-539N (mine was made in 1969 but it's a 1968 model and it's almost the same as the RBE-533P but with the added Speed Heat and Heat Minder burners).
1968 was the first year for a self-cleaning Compact 30 range and there was just one model available which featured the Speed Heat and Heat Minder burners. In 1969, another self-cleaning model without the SH and HM burners was introduced. Both ranges were produced with minimal changes for a few years.
