This control panel design was introduced in 1960, I believe. Prior to this unit, GE did offer "stainless steel" wall ovens, although I'm not sure that they weren't actually brushed chrome, so the availability of the finish was not new with the design. This is definitely a TOL model with the dual ovens and all bells and whistles. A beautiful unit!

I have this in Woodtone Brown. When we found it, it was spotless. The oven cavities are huge. The racks are interchangeable with the master oven in free standing ranges of the period. | ||

You're all so close. I have the brochure for this. You'll see it soon enough on the Ephemera site. It's probably a 1959 model. 59 IIRC was the first year they offered a window door on their wall ovens and it was only available on the top of a double oven model. This is a wonderful model with the meat thermometer and the rotisserie in the top oven. Call and check that they have all the parts for these features if you're going to buy it.
I always thought that it was clever of Thermador and Hotpoint among others to offer the doors as separate optional purchases when you bought the wall ovens. If you needed two window doors, you could have them; you just had to pay a little more. | ||

A little later, you could order it any way you wanted, one or two windows. | ||

Mine is the later one... and doesn't have all the bells and whistles but I did get the double oven with windows in both doors. Now I just need a house to install it in! LOL.

The more common GE wall ovens that have finishes in various colors are showing up all over CL in this area. There are many thousands of tract homes that were built locally in the late 50's and early 60's, a huge number of them having all-GE kitchens save for the metal cabinetry. Around here, with all the renovations that are being done as these homes transition from original owners, you can find GE ovens and cooktops of this vintage up for grabs in every color of the rainbow. Stainless not so much. I'm sure that wasn't even an option in the many stamped-out homes that offered GE kitchens. | ||

This oven looks like a precursor to the GE P7 oven. And that also was a good oven. | ||

GE and KitchenAid offered Stainless Steel and Brushed Chrome among other choices for high-end built-in appliances in the '60 and some of the '70's. The brushed chrome was coarser but didn't require as much cleaning. Being a professional chef, I'm thoroughly sick and tired of Stainless Steel. It's a big fat bitch to clean and maintain and I don't like a refrigerator door that won't take magnets. For a while during the last 10 years,Titanium finish was being offered; whatever happened to that?
Give me riotously colored porcelain enamel on steel anytime. In Mix or Match colors. The oven on the left, third square down is brushed chrome. Not a great shot.
