I am hoping anyone can tell me anything about this oven or what it's worth. It's a Suburban. I've haven't been able to find out much except for an advertisement from the 50s. |

As you can see by looking at this electric oven, Samuels Stamping and Enameling used as many similar parts as they could between their gas and electric ovens. What was the broiler compartment in the gas oven was a second oven in the electric models. |

They weren't great ovens or cook-tops for that matter, as Tom mentioned they were more into gas but built it as an electric oven as an afterthought.
This one would not have a broiler in the lower oven and as a result probably would not brown foods well. This oven would have little practical or monetary value unless you liked it for its looks and did not intend on using it much. John L. |
