You don't see Skelgas ranges for sale everyday, and from the pictures posted in the CL ad it looks to be in very good shape. It has the burner knobs on the backsplash like Maytag's did. Also has a griddle in the center as well.

WOW! With the knob arrangement, it looks like Globe might have had something to do with it. I wonder where he get his prices; out of his head, out of a bottle, where? | ||

prices, prices Hey Tim, I think he was referring to the $1,000 "they sell for". That is a beauty, I'd FOR REAL think about switching to gas if it weren't so far and I wasn't so in love with Wilma Westinghouse. | ||

That's a new brand for me. But she's a beauty--are both sides ovens, guessing that's a griddle in the middle. | ||

Skelgas was an LP brand name around here for many years. Their slogan was "Service Beyond The Gas Mains". My dad's aunt & uncle had a Skelgas branded 30" LP range in their home in the 1950's. When they moved to Milwaukee in 1961 the stove was sold to my dad's other aunt & uncle for their hunting cabin where it still is today. We also had Shellane, Dri-Gas, Pyrofax, Co-OpTane, City Bottled Gas, and Wisconsin L-P Gas Co. propane brands according to my 1955 Wausau phone book. | ||

Never heard of this brand - although in Detroit there were a few locally made gas stoves, although LP was never really big here. In the rural areas of Michigan, I still see a lot of those big LP tanks on the sides of houses (don't people call those tanks "pigs"??), so there may be some old LP stoves still out there in farm country.
What is the difference between a natural gas and LP stove? The size of the gas jets? Type of hook up? | ||
