I can't say for sure, but to me, it looks like Western Holly.
The porthole window is a dead give-away as I am thinking Western Holly was the only one with round windows. But there's something not quite right about the round window on this one. Not quite Western Holly looking to me.
It's an electric and most Western Hollys I've seen are gas.
Perhaps one of the range experts on here can fill us in for sure.

I sure would like to know, too. When my parents bought the house I now own, we used an electric range with round oven window for 6-8 weeks. The house we moved out of only had space for a 30" model, and the people moving in had a 40" range. So until the cabinets and countertop could be modified, they traded ranges with us. As soon as the work was done, everyone got their own range back. I've been meaning to ask their daughter (who lives down the street)if she remembers anything about it or has any pics. I agree with Tim, the window does seem a little different than W-H. I would say this was made between '48 & '52.

Electromaster
It's most likely an Electromaster made in Detriot late 49's. Heavily advertised in BH&G magazines of that era.

Electromaster?
That's a new name to me. Did the company last a long time and what happened to it? Did it just fade away or was it bought out by somebody else?

I'm curious about the "matching" dishwasher!
Cute cabin kitchen there. I hope they're not going to change the decor too much. Rustic rentals are an integral part of a classic Tahoe vacation, and making use of vintage appliances is part of the fun!

Definately!!
A late 40s Electromaster! What we call in the South an "OFF" brand, but a good sturdy range!

In the north we call that an off brand too, I believe was bought/asorbed by Philco. My Philco has the square trim rings like some early RCA Whirlpools.
I've contacted the seller to see if they have a picture of the dishwasher. If they send me anything, I'll post it here.
