Modern Maid from Tennessee Stove Works, definitely one of those brands that rattle when you walk across the floor.

They are in excellent condition.  Amazingly well-preserved!

Modern Maid was not in excellent condition when brand new. Back in the 60s, if you walked into a new home and there were MM kitchen appliances instead of GE, WH or FD, the rest of the house showed other signs of cheap construction.

You would be amazed

How many Modern Maid , Martha Wahington, Vesta and Enterprize cooktops and wall ovens I still see all are Tennessee products, I would like to have these just for the odd factor, the biggest problem with them was the oven doors were always screwey, they never closed correctly, my Cousin bought a house in 67 that had stainless Enterprize appliances, she thought they were great, I used to aggravate her by saying they were an off brand..LOL, these do have those good Chromalox units with 7 heat controls.

Does anyone remember when GE outsourced a cooktop with a grill/griddle from Modern Maid? It was strange to see the GE badge on a cooktop that was obviously not a GE product.

No but..

In the house where I got the Thrifty 30 Frigidaire, the wall oven in the kitchen was a double oven Norge ....But it was a re badged Modern Maid!
