That appears to be a '49 RM-45, a single-oven upper-MOL range. It was based on the previous year's TOL double-oven RK-70, the Frigidaire range I grew up with.
Only thing that makes me question the year is the present of those thin interwound elements in place of the Radiantubes that were a '49 intro. Damn thing weighs nearly three hundred pounds. That one in the photo looks like it's really pretty minty. |

Actually, that sounds about right. The range in the pic above has the thin elements our RK-70 had, and that range was definitely a '48. I have seen this range style with the fat Radiantubes (see pic below), and I know it was carried over for a little while as an MOL choice after Frigidaire came up with new TOL styling.
I'd be willing to bet that Ben swestoyz has all these variations pictured in his collections of literature. |
