That's the first, same, exact stove my parents had at the vacation house. I remember it well.

A steal at that price, and you know it's very low mileage.

 

I like the terrace top concept, but I guess not enough people did.

Louie - any photos of it from that time? I do like this stove, and can see it looking cute in the right kitchen.

 

[norgeway]

I have always

Liked these, I had a great Aunt and 2 of her daughters that had these, bought in the early 60s...I would put it in my kitchen for sure.

Not that I know of Phil. I was like 10 at the time.

A Very Nice Range at a Reasonable Price

Is it me or the lighting or the camera angle, but that 8" element looks warped. You did not want to try to can on one of these in a standard size canner.

 

[norgeway]

Thats the complaint!

I remember my Aunt and Cousins having, they all raised huge gardens, and you could not center the canner on the unit.

I had this range in white in an apartment during summer school 1975.  Loved it.  And the WH dishwasher that was with it--two cycle buttons!!!

That range, as pictured, is a real LOW RIDER

Look how far below the counter tops it sits. Maybe it has been removed from its kitchen and is just sitting there, but the side trim was supposed to be even with the countertops.

I think the original COROX units have been replaced. Those are the newer, thinner tubes. I like the thicker tubes from the mid 50s into the early 60s better.
