Vintrage Stoves or Wall Ovens - CL finds

[twintubdexter]

A real bargain...

You could easily spend $25 at the KFC drive thru. Needs a knob. Had a similar oven in SJ only both ovens were S/C and there was a meat probe. Once the doors were changed from avacado to white we got along fine. In San Diego.

That's....

....A JK 25. It's not from the first couple-three years of production (1967 to say, 1970) because of the Ye Olde Woode Graine inserts in the oven door handles. Earlier handles had a brushed metal-look insert.

That is a very nice oven, and Joe is absolutely right that the price is basically lunch money.

, Belanger was a Canadian brand, the factory was in Montmagny Quebec. At some point, Belanger acquired the Gurney brand from Tappan-Gurney. They stopped to make appliances in the late 1970s.  They originally made wood stoves (we had a small Belanger box stove when I was a kid) but they also made large wood stoves and eventually a full line of appliances (apparently, their automatic washers were no good, I guess they were sourced but I don't know who made them, never seen one!). They mostly sold stoves, refrigerators and built-in appliances.

Here's another one on Kijiji.

 

A Philco with 3 burners in a row at the back...

Something Tells Me....

....That that poor Philco has bad smells and possibly a vermin infestation. Look at that wall behind it. Someone is not exactly the Happy Homemaker....

 

[gansky1]

LOL - Sandy, I thought the exact same thing about the Philco!

Part of the rescue for a beautiful appliance is bringing it back from a hard life. It's not uncommon to find them this way after years of elderly person's use when arthritis and other medical challenges make cleaning and care nearly impossible. I've seen so many homes that were once obviously spotless clean decline in later years of the owner's lives - "deferred maintenance" they call in the real estate biz.

I'm beginning work on the little Red Red Range I brought home a month or so ago, it's in pretty good shape overall and everything seems to work perfectly. The Sensi-Temp and even the clock, but still some hours of work and detailing will be very gratifying in the end. I can't wait to see it all done.

Oh beautiful red range! Was that a special color for GE in, I want to say, 1961ish? Very pretty. Great that the stars and the "General Electric" and logo light up through the surface lighting. And very hard to find! I passed on one a couple of years ago because it was 'too far away'... and have regretted that ever since!

 

[ovrphil]

Agree! Beautiful stove and even if it you're not done yet, it's looking great. I don't usually love red stoves, but it works well with that design.

That's the exact model that I bought over in Pensacola for my Mobile house.  It had truly been ridden hard and put up wet.  I cleaned and cleaned and polished for months, never could get it to a point where I was pleased with the results.  The clock/timer did not work, the Sensi-Temp had been replaced with a conventional 8" burner, the red had several bad nicks in the porcelain and there were stains in the body of the range that defied removal.  The range was ready for a complete restoration - something I wasn't really interested in going for (not to mention not really equipped to do).  When I removed the back panel I could tell that everything (EVERYTHING) internally was coated with grease.  When I finally got the front of the clock removed and tried to clean the clock face, the numerals and markings came off the plate.  Very discouraging.

 

The final straw happened after I  moved into this house and started using the range.  One evening I was preparing dinner, had something in the oven and needed to melt butter so was going to use the left rear burner.  Set the pan on the burner and pushed WM and the whole house went dark.  Not just the kitchen but the WHOLE HOUSE.  It was then and there I decided that I needed to say good-bye to the red one.  Fortunately for me I placed an ad on CL on a Friday and sold it on Saturday to 3 guys from a Fraternity House at the University of South Alabama.  I did make it clear to them that whatever they did - do NOT attempt to use the left rear burner.

 

Hopefully you will have a better experience with your 1961 GE range!

1950s Vintage Caloric Wall Oven & Stovetop - Aqua - $150

[philr]

The funny thing about the Philco is that the ad says "stored inside (currently in use)"...

I'm not sure I'd want to eat in that place! I don't think I'd want to be there!

 

If you look at their other ads, you can see some strange things they sell (and more)!

1950s Westinghouse oven - WORKING! - $125 (san rafael)

beautiful green (if you like green, of course)

http://sfbay.craigslist.org/nby/app/4813592253.html

 

[twintubdexter]

That's a very nice green. Our neighbors had an Oldsmobile that color.

 

[circlew]

Westinghouse called the color Mint Aqua. I like the oven, but would have preferred they had used the same door handle as on the 30" ranges

what, does it blow up when you get it home and plug it in?

[ovrphil]

based on what Danemodsandy spent in time cleaning an oven, I can't imagine what this "in pretty good shape" Frigidaire Imperial will take in time. Look at what the prior owners left as a present for the next labor of love buyers. Ouch.

ad: " We are remodeling a house in Whittington, IL and have salvaged a few vintage pieces. The previous tenants had been using this oven very recently, though im not sure to what extent everything works. It is very heavy and in pretty good shape. The stove pulls out and the oven doors swing up. Dimensions are 25" deep by 62" tall by 40" wide.
Asking $50 for it and wont deliver unless the price is right. We live near Evansville, but are usually in Whittington on the weekends. Thanks!"

Kenmore in #52:

"what, does it blow up when you get it home and plug it in?"

Since it's a WCI-built Kenmore, I would not guarantee that it would fall to the ground if you heaved it out of a second-story window.
