Yay, two ovens in the kitchen! No more trecking downstairs to use the convection oven on the washer! |

The original owner's manual was tucked inside. |

Now I need to find a vehicle and some able-bodied assistance to get these things home. Anyone in the Twin Cities want to lend a hand? |

That Gibson range is absolutely incredible - such beautiful condition!! You don't see a lot of those - they were built here in Michigan.
What is that circular dial you are touching on the left side of the panel? Is that a timer? I see deep well pots all the time - it shouldn't be hard to find one. Many happy years of cooking on your beautiful Gibson range!! |

Well, if I ever went back to electric I'd want that Gibson burner system, and I like that they offered the softer heat concealed element in the ovens. You got yourself one very versatile and capable stove there h2c.
I agree that you should check with the seller about the deep well pot. It could be mixed in with other pots and pans the seller removed from the kitchen area prior to the remodel. The nice thing is that you can raise the deep well burner to use like the other three, should you not find the pot right away. On so many stoves with deep wells that wasn't an option, and if the pot got separated from the stove that burner was pretty useless. Also, my experience is that these pots are manufacturer-specific and generally not interchangeable across makes. |

The original deep well pot is long gone. The contents of the house were liquidated in an estate sale a year ago! I'm sure one will turn up somewhere. |

Very nice finds. My friends the Jones' had the Gibson range. It had belonged to his grandmother. They made the unfortunate mistake of replacing it with some cheap thing that wasn't near as good. |

The oven in that Gibson range was unique in that the oven floor is made of stainless steel and dosent chip or craze like the Hotpoint or Westinghouse ovens with concealed units. |
