There are some GREAT things for offer in this package-deal kitchen. Gotta love those lengths of one-piece stainless countertops and Revco wall refrigerators! Bids start at $2000

Wow!  They were pretty advanced to have a one-piece stainless-steel counter!  It looks like that part of the kitchen was designed for a home decor magazine of the day.   

 

I've seen the stainless steel built-in toasters before, but I thought they were Toastmasters for some reason.  

 

It really is a unique find....

Those oven are in a terrible place. Under the counter can be workable, but having to have them even lower because of the button banks makes them a back breaker. Can you imagine trying to lift something like a turkey out of one of them?

I wonder about the purpose of the black outlet box in picture 3.

Someone got a REALLY good deal.  Looks like it sold for $2K.  The in-wall toaster wasn't the usual Modern Maid that is usually seen on eBay (the one in the listing is Swanson) and that dishwasher faucet thing is apparently also quite rare it would appear.  It also appears that it came with Frigidaire fold-down burners!

I would imagine the stainless countertops were sections that were welded, ground, then given a brushed finish to appear seamless. That process is common for foodservice equipment, as it can't have seams to catch dirt and germs.

The GE wall ovens are, of course, newer than 1958. They look to be from about '62 or so.

The ovens have the same styling and controls introduced about 57-58 on both built in and free standing ranges with the single wing dials that were used into the very early 60s.
