Western-Holly Two Porthole Wall Oven

This looks really sharp, in stainless with the round oven windows. Seller is asking $400.

"Rotary Barbecue-Broyl Oven" ... would that mean it has a rotisserie?

These seem to be showing up a lot lately.  I'm amazed at how many of them escaped replacement.  Back in the late 80's we lived in a mid-50's development that had the single built in oven as original equipment and I'd estimate that even by that time well over half of the homes had updated their kitchens.  Our own place was lacking its original WH oven but still had the companion cooktop, in Band-Aid pink. 

 

It appears the "broyl" oven is only for that function, while the regular oven would be for roasting and baking,  but with a term like "rotary" it does sound like the broiler section  would have a rotisserie feature.

 

They definitely look more timeless in stainless.

In my future home I have made room on the kitchen floorplan for two of the single oven Western Hollys. Whether I find them or not, there's going to be two of something vintage there!

This style oven was in the kitchen in the film "Pleasantville".
