And actually the last gasp for English Electric as a stand alone brand (rather than a label stick on Hotpoints) it was branded Electra for sale through electricity boards - this is a direct descendant of the Rapide series cookers. And the only British manufacturer of the time to offer a coloured appliances (as opposed to white or variations of black and stainless steel) - others came after but I believe this to be the first. They also came in green and brown

I don't know a great deal about GEC cookers I mist admit as many did not seem to make their way to NI where I grew up. I would date this one at mid- late 1960s

A Russell Hobbs Stainless Steel Perc was mentioned in a thread recently, here are a couple more - late 150s/early 1960s - actually I thought this was a Morphy Richards - just shows what little I know!

A long standing RH design, available in plain finish or to match many popular tea sets of the time - I have the same design with matching heated milk jug in the Poppy design, a set my parents had.

And just the thing to complement that tasteful kitchen, a tasteful bar! I don't doubt the owner thought them the epitome of style and luxury. Stunning is probably the right word, but maybe not in the sense they mean it

The ranges are coming out of the woodwork this week. 1960-61 would be around the right age for this cooker - needs a good clean, but could be a beauty when it is done.

Electric this time.
I must admit I have had to think long and hard about this one as it could have been a strong contender for my new kitchen and if it had been the earlier model with the solid white doors (rather like the early gas one above) I would definitely have gone for it. Ironically it about three miles from where I used to live. CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay |

For those whose finances would not run to a Kenwood Chef there was always the Chefette. I believe that this too is a Kenneth Grange design update on the earlier model. This example looks to be in very nice condition

The predecessor model to the EE Rapide back up the thread. Given that this cooker is some 50 years old it is in remarkably good condition. This cooker is around 18-19 inches wide and the pictures give a good example of the oven and inner door arrangement. By the way the elements are on the left and right hand side of the oven behind the removable stay clean linings.

Fast forward to the mid to late 1970s or possibly very early 1980s - this Belling is at least 15 years older than they think. This is based on the late 1960s Belling Classic 80 design which I consider perhaps the pinnacle of cooker design, the lines around the control panel are not as clean as the earlier version but the heritage is still visible.

Alongside the Classic cookers (21" wide) Belling also produced their Compact range, this is a mid-late 1980s model bit apart from the colour and some styling changes is basically the same as a model from 20 years ago.

No here is a rarity, this was one of a limited range of appliances sold along side Eastham kitchens- branded as Eastham Burco. I don't recall ever seeing one on here before. Not working but not expensive either.

I actually saw this earlier in the day before the wood grain version pictured above but could not find it again when doing the posting. Who knew there would two of these up at the same time. I think the cupboards they are sitting on were supplied by Leisure too.
Late 1960s or very early 1970s I would say, and at the listed price I don't imagine it will be going anywhere any time soon CLICK HERE TO GO TO vacbear58's LINK on eBay |
