Very cool old Kenmore Range

[k5carrillo]

Anyone know anything about these? Saw it on a Seattle area Craigslist ad. Looks pretty unique. Just thought you would get a kick out of another oldie.

OMG - it has the glass 'inner door'!  How cool is that?   Looks like the range was well-cared-for, too; it seems nice and clean in the photos.

That is one beautiful electric stove! I especially like that the oven door has cooking temps and times written in the inside. I had forgotten all about this handy tool that manufactures used to put into their stoves.

Very nice. And seven heat selections on the burners. Don't think I've seen a Kenmore like this. Who was the manufacturer? Doesn't look like the chrome strips on the doors line up? Would the small oven originally had two racks?

Wuth the pushbutton burner controls wouldn't this stove been manufactured by GE or Hotpoint? I don't recall any other companies that used this type of control.

Roper

Made it, GE did make the switches for them and several others like Gibson Coolerator and Kelvinator.

Strange that if GE made those 7 button burner switches that they never equipped GE or HP ranges with them. As far as Ive seen GE and HP ranges always had a 5 button switch.

GE Hotpoint,

And Philco were the only ones who used 5 heat pushbutton switches, Dixie, Kelvinator, Kenmore,Coolerator, Monarch,Gibson used 7 heat switches, both pushbutton and rotary, GE made all sorts of parts for many manufacturers.
