Although coppertone is not everyone's favorite color (I like it!), this 1960 Hotpoint set is really a gem... the huge oven window and the thermometer, and the cooktop with the color-keyed controls to the burners, a supermatic burner, and their great version of control tower controls!

They look like they were very well taken care of, too!

Very clean!

Both the cooktop and the wall oven are so clean!  The cooktop also features Hotpoint's version of Sensi-Temp (right front burner).

Those are nice

They are later than 1960; probably around '64 or '65 as Shaded Coppertone wasn't around until '63, and it also has a grounded outlet on the cooktop.

61 Hotpot literature shows Coppertone

Mine is a 62 model just below this one shown. That oven is almost spotless, just too far away..

These could be either 1962 or 1963

The oven appears to be Model RL75, cooktop Model RU45.

 

The 1962 colors were Classic White, Sunburst Yellow, Petal Pink, Turquoise Green, Woodtone Brown, Fashion Finish Coppertone and Satin Chrome.  This was the first year for the coppertone.

 

Same color choices 1963.

 

Neither the wall oven nor the cooktop show up in my 1964 catalog.

I knew there was a little bit of overlap between Woodtone Brown and Coppertone, but wasn't sure exactly how long. The earliest ads I've seen for GE showing Coppertone was '63 - was it available on Hotpoint a little earlier? Maybe I just haven't seen any ads mentioning it that are before then.

Lawrence, what year's catalog is the earliest showing a GROUNDED receptacle on the ranges? I was thinking it was late '63 or early '64 on GE products.

One thing about GE is that they always seemed to have models that didn't appear in the printed catalog. The local dealer's catalog was a 3-ring binder with individual pages, with a separate page for each model that could be added or removed as models changed. Is your '64 Hotpoint catalog bound or in a binder?

Perk

Hi, thanks, it's a SCM Proctor Silex with lights in the base. 2 lights on while perking away, and one stays on for hold warm. Love me some lighted controls!

Grounded Convenience Outlets

I find them on cooktops as early as 1961.  My catalogs are Sweets catalog inserts, so they don't probably represent the entire product line.

Lwwrence, thanks for the info!

You are correct that the Sweet's catalogs don't show the entire line in many cases. I've found that true with plumbing fixtures also.
