What a value! It never fails to slay me how, back in the day, an incredibly well-decked out gas oven like this one was available to retail customers. I would have had one of these and a GE self-clean wall oven to compliment it (and a Thermador electric cooktop next to a Chambers gas). There is nothing like this on the market today even if you have the money.
Am I correct in thinking that Gaffers and Sattler was a Western US brand. I don't recall seeing any of their products in homes or in stores when I was a kid; only as prizes on "Let's Make a Deal" with Monty.

G&S High End or Mid Range ? The truth is there were very few well built gas wall ovens even back into the 60s.
Gas lost this market very quickly to electric for wall ovens.
The only 1/2 way decent ones I have seen are some 60s Caloric models, WP did make a few interesting models and actually had 30" wide models in Gas.
I remembered going to a big annual appliance show around 1988 and Caloric had just introduced a 27" double Self-Cleaning Gas wall oven. The guys promoting it were so proud of this $2000 oven and as I told them they had just come up with the answer that almost no one was asking, LOL.
For around $1100 at this time you could get the TOL GE double SCWO and even get a meat thermometer and rotisserie, but most of all the GE worked and was reliable.
I only ever saw a few of these Caloric built ovens even though they were sold under the Modern Maid, Whirlpool, Kitchenaid brand names, every one I have seen needed a lot of repairs. | ||

Ad Pics I recall in the 1970s we went to Houston a few times to investigate some model homes that various builders had set up for prospective buyers to view and Gaffers & Sattler was a common brand for dishwasher and gas kitchen appliances. Also Modern Maid. | ||

Im not familiar With the 60s G and S stuff, but in the 50s they sure made a high dollar gas range, it had more bells and whistles than a Imperial Le Baron!LOL | ||
