 My mother used to have a warming tray that had a similar pattern. It would hold up to three 2qt corning dishes, but the entire unit heated across the length.
Not saying that is where this is from, but it looks familiar, Nothing to compare my memory to as I think she gave or sold it when we moved out of state in 1976. | ||

Sorry to respond to this very old thread. I have a 4 module 1975 Tappan 13-3383. The glass panels are 12 x 9 inches. The glass is not perfectly smooth, it has a slight texture to it. Not easy to keep it clean, LOL! | ||

Thanks! The four control knobs are original . They are made of plastic with a chrome plating. A couple of them have the plating failing and I am unable to find exact replacements. | ||

That's a neat stovetop
I had no idea smooth top ranges went back to the 70's like that.
Plastic can be re-plated. A lot of hobbyist need chrome plating done to plastic pieces for things like scale models and then car enthusiasts always want bezels and covers chromed... so there are several businesses that do single item plastic chroming for individuals, like with your control knobs. Only problem is they are ridiculously expensive for no bigger than your knobs would be and you have to mail them off in most cases as it's not a common thing to have in just any ones local area. That's a risk you'd hate to take with such a rare piece like this but something to think about. PS.. that floor is pretty awesome too. Is the whole kitchen vintage like the range? | ||

Thanks! I am hoping to run across at least one replacement knob. At one time I had the part number and then lost it. My Hotpoint oven (1956) and Amana Radar microwave are also vintage. | ||

Very cool
That's a fun kitchen! Those look almost new too. Smooth top oven and stainless steel appliances were much more interesting circa 1950's and 70's
Very unique knobs there, I bet someone somewhere has one or some. Those are the kind of knobs collectors like to snag from poor orphaned machines at recycling centers and scrap metal bone yards. | ||

There is chrome spray paint available at HD or Lowes. Quick drying and looks pretty good. I have used it on a few pieces but nothing that gets handled regularly so I don't know how good it will hold up under use. But cheap and available. Might want to give it a try. Jon | ||
