This is a local (Mobile, AL) ad for a range that I've never seen before. It is 24 inches wide, Harvest color (non-shaded, so that tells me late 1970's/early 1980's), with loads of faux woodgrain and proudly proclaiming its "Princess" badge. The seller has been unable to locate a data plate so no model number or serial number. I believe this must be a Canadian product. Is anyone familiar with this one or others similar to it? Can't see the knobs clearly enough to identify French/English text, but it's probably there.
Comments anyone?

is Canadian GE, still in Hamilton Ontario. They still make the GE and Profile slide in ranges. Some of the parts are either from MABE in Mexico, or China. I think the Montreal plant which made dryers, etc. closed. |

Maybe behind the top of the storage drawer, at the opening, there should be the row of fuses, one for each element. |

Is the Canadian arm of General Electric: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Canadian_G...
"1975 - Household appliance division spun off and merged with GSW Inc., a Canadian manufacturer of household appliances with brands such as McClary, Easy, and Moffat, in a new company named Camco. Camco is a publicly traded company and is a part of the General Electric family of companies." |

Just yesterday I went to visit a job site where a 1927 house is being flipped. Lance Brown, the guy who takes these projects on isn't your typical flipper. He seeks out houses with charm and retains as much of the original architectural treatments as possible, while adding modern treatments that make better use of the space. He takes time to do things right and do the house proud. He's even re-using all of the original double hung sash windows on this latest place, which have all been rebuilt by a specialist. He's been working on this particular house since March.
There is a small separate cottage in the back yard. It has a tiny kitchen. I took a look at the space where the stove will go, and figured it would be a 20" model. He corrected me and said it's going to be 24". While he uses classic treatments in kitchens, the appliances are all new. I didn't ask him where he found a brand new 24" range, but apparently they're out there. I'll have to inquire next time I see him.
In case anyone is interested, you can see some of his previous work via the link provided. His girlfriend Diane also has a blog with updates on their current project -- accessible through the link. CLICK HERE TO GO TO rp2813's LINK |

my 2007 GE Profile dual fuel slide in range says made by Camco, behind the bottom drawer. Do you know where that plant is, or was? |

Here it is, "Bertazzoni". I think Primier and others also make a 24" range. CLICK HERE TO GO TO Stricklybojack's LINK |

Did GE import Canadian 24" ranges to the United Sates like it did for it's electric kettles? The Canadian 30" GE ranges looked very similar to that 24" back then. I'd like to find one of the early self-cleaning Canadian GE ranges from 1966. So far, I have only seen them in old newspaper ads like this one:
news.google.com/newspapersQUESTI... The French-language ad states that this self-cleaning range has infinite switches. I don't know if all models had them back in 1966 but most of them certainly had rotary controls. I do recall seeing one very similar GE Canadian range with pushbuttons but most seemed to have rotary controls. I saved the larger pics from the Craigslist ad for the 24" range. |
