This is for sale and have no information as to what level model this is.
The
MODEL# IJ402W1N1

SERIAL # NN34929A

The gentleman says that this was his grandmothers, then his mothers, and he has it now. It's in very good condition. He's open to 'reasonable offers'. It's out of my price range, but was wondering what level of stove it is, i.e. mol, tol. Has a rotisserie and there's a broiler on the left side. I don't know if that's also a second oven or just a broiler on the left side. I think they had names for these particular models like liberator, airliner, or something like that . Any opinions or info appreciated. Les.

Based on the Model Number

This is a 1956 Stratoliner (J-402).  It was positioned right under the TOL Liberator.  However, whereas the Liberator had 2 ovens and 2 storage drawers, the Stratoliner only had one oven and 3 storage drawers.  This one has the Automatic Calrod Unit, a meat thermometer, automatic speed grill and the Tel-A-Cook lights (with a different color for each heat).  But not rotisserie, at least not in the 1956 catalog.

 

The seller could be confusing a "meat thermometer" feature for a "rotisserie" feature?

 

It does look to be in very good condition.

model type

Seller says that it's a 1954 model, although if you looked it up it might be a 56. Also says that left left side is the rotisserie. I guess it means it's an oven too. Was the rotisserie in the left side back then? Les.

Well, based on the serial number, the range was manufactured in 1956, I think.  You can follow the link to a website about dating GE appliances.  However, I don't find anything about an "NN" prefix, so who knows for sure.

 

I do have a copy of the 1954 catalog and the knobs on this range do not match the knobs on the 1954 ranges.  The knobs do match those shown on the 1956 models.

 

I do not have information for 1955, so perhaps that's where the answer lies.  Or, this could be a special model that is not illustrated in the catalog.
