Looks like an early postwar model

She's purtttty, but I need's me a thermostat on my oven.  Wilcolator or Robertshaw, puhleese!

What is the red knob on the left?  Could it be an oddball primitive system with a separate knob to open the valve and another to regulate the temperature?

 

I don't know that I'd want to deal with a non-piloted range and oven on a daily basis, but this is a beautiful stove for a cabin or an auxiliary application.

 

The price is certainly right.  I hope it finds a home.

I do like the look of the stove. Nice looking handles and love the light on the stove. But I agree with Mark...you have to have a working oven.

Re Thermostat!

That red wheel is one of the most accurate thermostats ever built, The Lorain Red Wheel Regulator, Magic Chefs claim to fame.
