Who Made This?

[pulltostart]

Decent-looking slide-in electric range. The seller says its a Magic Chef, but I don't see any logo or name on the panel; only a reference to "continuous cleaning". I always thought of MC as BOL appliances, but this range appears to have 4 high-speed eyes (not usually found on BOL ranges). Who actually built this range?

It does resemble a coppertone Magic Chef that my mammaw had. Her's was gas however. Several of the design elements match between the 2 ovens

This looks very similar to an avocado model we had growing up, which nobody can seem to remember the name of. It was electric, with the horizontal clock in the center just like this. Did Scoville ever end up with their name on any ranges? -Cory

Looks like Magic Chef

I guess in the case of this stove, " the eyes have it"! I have never heard of the term "eyes" describing burners before. It must have been in a terrible fight, as it has 4 black eyes.! Sorry, I just couldn't resist. LOL I wonder if the heaters in the oven, are forced air, or maybe steam radiators! Where do people come up with this stuff!

"Eyes"

Is a Southern term for "burners," heard more among older and rural people.

And it's pronounced "ahs," as in "I got me a new Westin'house frigidaire* and a new 'lectric cookstove with four ahs."

* To this day, "Frigidaire" remains a rural Deep South locution referring to any refrigerator, of any brand. It's especially fun to hear when it's applied to a shiny stainless LG french-door model in a McMansion; you know where the speaker's roots are, no matter how high off the hog they're living today.

Eyes!

That is ALL I ever heard them called as a kid!!!

Yep, I've always heard them referred to as "eyes". And my aunt always kept the cokes in the "frigidaire"!! Always confused me, because it was a Kelvinator. Yep, I'm from the South!!

Me too. Ha, maybe its because we have so few gas ranges, the term "burner" doesn't seem right.

In my family, the term older people used for refrigerator was "icebox," though. This despite the fact that my mom says they did get a Frigidaire (a real one) about 1930 or so.

This was a Modern Maid...they seemed to have the slide-in range market sewn up in the 70s. Those are Magic Chef knobs, certainly, but definitely Modern Maid.
