That's a nice looking Hotpoint; simple clean-lined control panel. Thinking it is probably from about '53 or '54.

Pretty expensive

I would check the oven or get pictures before getting excited about it. This was near the end of the time for concealed bake elements and I remember a TOL HP with the vertical button arrangement with a rusted out oven floor. To their credit, I can't remember a GE or a Frigidaire of the period using them.

I stand corrected

I looked at the oven pic and this has the exposed bake elements, the very early ones without the indentation in the center front to prevent burns and potholder fires.
