This is just wild! Someone bought this and never installed it. Pick up is in the Chicago area.

That's still way more of a pain than something that was just a wipe-clean surface, or located more away from grease spatters.
One of the downsides of vintage ranges and cooktops is the amount of detail that has to be kept free of grease and spatters. Some were really problematic, like the '57 TOL GE ranges. 1970s and '80s Kenmore stuff can also be bad about this, depending on the model. |

My mom's friend Ruth M. had (and may still have) this Westinghouse cooktop, in their 1960 house. They also had the wall oven; both were brushed chrome. |

The house that we lived in in 1962 had this exact same Westy cooktop. I loved how the lights changed colors with the switch change in temp. High was red, med high red orange, med orange, med low yellow, low green and simmer blue, if IRCC. My aunt had this same cooktop as well in her track home that they bought new in 1955, $11,000 for a 3 bed 2 bath home on a very large lot.
I remember how my aunt used to leave her Revere Ware Percolator on the simmer setting all day long so she could have hot coffee ready to go with her Camels. Eddie This post was last edited 08/24/2017 at 01:00 |
