Apparently made by Kelvinator and came in gas or electric versions.

Highly sought after collectible range, don't ask me why...

Suppose if one wants look of a cast iron range but not bother of solid fuel heat source this "Country Kitchen" was a viable option.

I’ve seen a few of these shared in old posts, but I think most of them were electric.

This reminds me of an early version of the Heartland Ranges that come in gas or electric.

I remember seeing those in catalogues.

Had a few over the years. Wasn't impressed.

I think I may still have an electric one up on the 5th floor. When I get a chance, I'll take a look. Not impressed by them at all.

Sold for just north of $300. Who knew?
