I can't quite make out the brand name on the badge at the left. It apparently does still have the pot that goes in the deep-well cooker. Note the overhead light above the backsplash.

Double check on the location The listing doesn't actually say... it was posted to Huntsville Craigslist, but the listing doesn't give the location. Actually, I'm getting a bit suspcious because no phone number was given either. | ||

Yep!
It's a Frigidaire. Looks like late '30s/early '40s, but we need an expert like Mark kenmore71 to tell us the exact year.
This one is pretty high up in the line; it has an automatic oven and the Thermizer; the Cook-Master clock/timer unit is mounted in the backguard as was Frigidaire's practice on high-end ranges, not in the light tower as they did for cheaper models (where the Cook-Master was an optional accessory). However, it lacks the salt and pepper shaker set mounted on the light tower of TOL models I've seen from this time frame. | ||

 That is a 1939 Frigidaire B-60-39. Top of the line for that year. Left side was a warming drawer, right side a regular oven. The front two surface units have been replaced. Interestingly, they must have been replaced pretty early on since they are the thin 2-piece readiantubes that were used from 1941-1948 instead of the much more common wide monotube radiantube introduced on the 1949 line.

That Explains It....
I was thinking this wasn't quite TOL, because of the lack of a salt and pepper set. As you know, Mark, the 1940 line had those on TOL ranges. But this is a year earlier, and they evidently hadn't come up with that idea yet.
That would be a very, very cool range restored. Very 1939-40 World's Fair. "I HAVE SEEN THE FUTURE!" | ||

In Case Anyone's Interested:
Here's a link to the CL ad.
Asking price is $350, which is not the most unreasonable asking price I've ever seen. The seller says, "The stove needs some TLC, as in the structure is solid but knobs, etc., could stand to be resurfaced." The range is claimed to be one-owner. There was also one additional photo, of the Thermizer, which appears to be in good shape. P.S.: Is it just me, or does the Frigidaire badge on the backsplash behind the Thermizer bear an uncanny resemblance to the Batsignal? :) CLICK HERE TO GO TO danemodsandy's LINK on Huntsville Craigslist
