Another Carron

Thank you Keith for sharing you memory of you mother having one of these. Do you remember if she liked it? Was it a good cooker? You are certainly correct in that it was top of the range for its time, this would have been competing against Moffats and the like. For a long time this model was the only "range" cooker you could buy.

Anyway, here is another

My sister

visited London in the mid 1980's. One of the photos she took had a Sharp microwave add on the side of a bus. When I asked why that would be, rather than an add for a play, or movie, or a car, she replied that a microwave oven in the UK was just coming into the mainstream market. That American luxuries came along a bit later.
 
I think maybe Tappan

copied the idea for the eye level electric warming shelf from the Carron. It sure became obsolete rather quickly. I don't know why, I found it rather stylish and functional. Maybe it was a trend towards more built in ovens and cook tops, or over the range microwave oven/vent combos. My mothers had it's own vent fan built in it. Once when the oven wouldn't light when it was new, she cooked a Thanksgiving green bean casserole on the warming shelf. It was one of the first gas self cleaning ranges, and also to have pilotless ignition for the oven.
