Oh. My. GOD.
A JK 29 in Brushed Chrome? You never see these! I've only ever seen one other - a 1965 or '66 model that was made before GE put windowed doors in P*7 ovens. And that was in a book, not in person.
I wish I had a place to put one of these - this is a super-rare find, and one of the most beautiful wall ovens ever. It's after 1972, maybe '74-'75 or so, as evidenced by the Ye Olde Fayke Woode Graine inserts on the door handles; earlier iterations had brushed metal inserts. Sigh! | ||

As Part Of....
....My continuing effort to find every surviving JK 29 a good home, here's the list of features:
- P*7 self-cleaning in both upper and lower ovens. - Rotisserie. - Custom-series trim, including the heavy chrome frames for the windows. - Electric meat thermometer. These were the TOL wall ovens of their era, the most coveted by owners of high-end houses. They are fan-freaking-tastic bakers, and excellent broilers as well. The P*7 (if still working properly) self-cleans extremely well. Anyone looking for a wall oven should consider one of these. | ||

TOL GE Double Wall Ovens
Sandy I agree with everything you said, except these ovens are common as hell here, yes the brushed chrome was less popular than white and HG was next then Avocado and copper-tone. We literately have entire condo buildings here in DC that were built with these TOL DOs. And I would agree that you will never get a better built, better preforming oven, however I will keep my CMT-21 Thermador oven because of the built-in exhaust system that vents outside in hot weather and during self-cleaning, I also like the gasket-less doors and of coerce the micro-convection feature in the top oven.
One of these TOL GE DOs was used by Julia Child in her The Way To Cook Series that was done in the late 1980s, I think that this was one of JCs best works ever. I also loved watching her cook on the companion GE built-In coil-top Cook-Top. In the videos she was often using the RF Sensa-temp burner and she would show that you just set the control to 350 and cook away, I am sure a lot of people at home were looking at their stove tops looking for 350 on the dial, LOL.

I Think....
....One of the reasons GE had all that sales supremacy was the incredibly broad selection of wall ovens they offered.
It started with the Deluxe models, beginning with the JC 14, a 27" single-oven model without P*7. There was a double-oven version of this, the JC 25. Then came the JK 14, a single 27" oven with P*7, and the JK 25, a double 27" oven with an upper P*7 oven and conventional cleaning in the lower one. After that came the Custom models, beginning with the 24" JR 19, a single P*7 oven geared toward the replacement market. Then came the JK 19, a 27" version of the same thing, then the 27" JK 29, which had two-count-'em'-two P*7 ovens. All these Custom models had the rotisserie and the electric meat thermometer. That's seven different models, most available in five finishes - White, Coppertone, Avocado, Harvest and Brushed Chrome. I know Sears offered more selections, but that counted gas ovens. And Sears' stuff was not the quality GE's was. | ||

Another thing is that GE was popular in the Cincinnati area due to so many employed at the GE Aircraft Engine plant. They of course got discounts on any GE product. Knew 3 families in my area that the dads worked there, and they all had full GE kitchens - one each of White, Coppertone and Canary Yellow. | ||
