Thought it would be wise to start a new thread for a new month. Please note: other members are free to add items to this thread and indeed it is welcomed.
So lets start off with a later version of the Carron range cooker that featured in the old thread. Its now called a Cannon (almost the same as Carron) the grill (broiler) now has a lift up door, clock/timer has been updated and the controls have now moved to the font of the hob. I believe this to be the penultimate version of this cooker, the final version being a blue/grey colour. This probably dates from about 1990 or so, if my memory is not deceiving me CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay

In one of the vintage kitchen listings I made reference to the Belling Classic 80 cooker, one of my favourites from the late 1960s. This is the predecessor model.
Single rather than double oven, it has a "simmerstat" burner which I think the Classic 80 did NOT have, but does not have the dual element burner which the later model did have CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay

Not much time left on this one - looks like it was good quality.
Washing machine and dishwasher are also for sale, but do not look very clean CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay |

Don't see many of these. I thought it was expensive but on looking at the photos it does seem in very good, clean condition. Probably early - mid 1960s until the brand name Revo was dropped - I THINK it was part of the Radiation group with Jackson & Parnall.
Although electric cookers were generally supplied with four burners sometimes three was preferred as it left room for an electric kettle on the top. Electrical installations for cookers almost universally provided and master isolating switch and power outlet (sometimes the only one in the kitchen) on the wall, often above the cooker so it was hand to be able to put the cooker in proximity to it. It was kind of our equivalent to power outlets on the range splashbacks CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay |

Well this was a surprise, two in one week. This would have been geared more for a studio or small apartment although there was also some popularity with people who owned solid fuel or perhaps oil fired ranges as a supplement for the summer when it was too warm for the range to be lit.
You would expect the grill (broiler) to be under the large rectangular plate but there do not seem to be enough knobs for all the apparent facilities. CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay |

Over the last month I have posted a couple of Cannon cookers (ranges) with had a fold away eye level grill (broiler). But they also sold them as separate wall mounted units as well and this is a late 1970s version.
Like I mentioned with the Peerless above this would have been popular with people with solid fuel or oil burning ranges which would not have had a grill. Or for people with GAS split levels which did not (to my knowledge, and certainly in the 1960s and early 1970s) have the grill in the oven chamber. By and large gas split levels at this time looked like someone took a chain saw to a range and cut it across the middle to form the two units. Of course the immediate disadvantage of this type of unit is that you had to find somewhere to keep the grill pan, here it is resting on a rack for warming plates CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay |

The last model produced under this name, after the Parnall name was dropped it morphed into a Creda where it continued in production for very many more years

You kind of threw me with re-opening an old thread LOLOLOL - I looked above and thought "I don't remember posting that..." If you look at my Feb 2015 thread you will see that Carrons have been coming out of the woodwork everywhere. I believe the Chatelaine was the earliest version of the Cordon Bleu - late 1960s Al |
