No brand, no model, no year, no price...but kinda cool. Anyone know anything about it? Sorry that I don't know how to put the pics on here. I can only paste the link.

The stoves logo is on the glass behind the left rear burner but it's hard to make out.

I was guessin'

Tappan, too. There's an awful lotta knobs on that stove. I think that was one of those warming tray shelf models. Do you think 70's or 80's?

Menu Magic

This looks like a Wards Signature Menu Magic--a Tappan rebadge, but I always thought the high-fashion look was fun. I can't see in this pic if this unit had the warming tray above, so that you could set your cereal boxes on fire.

We went to an estate sale a couple of years ago (from whence we nabbed the Dual-Wash top-load dishwasher), and the house was a swank MCM bit with floating fireplace that was open to three different rooms simultaneously, with the most insane wallpaper in every room. Pendant globe lamps--the whole nine yards. The ENTIRE house was Wards to the hilt, and had this stove. The fans, heaters, dishwasher, every thing I could find was Ward's. I didn't go so far to verify, but would have wagered that there was Brent underwear in the chest-of-drawers, and Style House draperies on the windows.

They had a ramada out by the pool for dining al-fresco, and had built a wall oven into the *exterior* wall of their pool-house, such that someone could easily pull dinner right from the oven to the table--OUTSIDE.

Now THAT is design.

Sears used to sell a similar style but the shelf was designed to hold a microwave.

There is a switch on the left labeled "warmer" so it probably has one.

That would TOTALLY happen in my family. Still have kids that put plastic and paper things on my electric stove!!! And it's NOT the little ones, either...

That aside, I am impressed that so many of you guys can take a lousy out of focus, far away, picture where you cannot make out the badge or any of the knobs and place make and model. This is a pretty remarkable group, is all I gotta say.
