This is a 1956 Stratoliner (J-402). It was positioned right under the TOL Liberator. However, whereas the Liberator had 2 ovens and 2 storage drawers, the Stratoliner only had one oven and 3 storage drawers. This one has the Automatic Calrod Unit, a meat thermometer, automatic speed grill and the Tel-A-Cook lights (with a different color for each heat). But not rotisserie, at least not in the 1956 catalog.
The seller could be confusing a "meat thermometer" feature for a "rotisserie" feature?
It does look to be in very good condition.

Seller says that it's a 1954 model, although if you looked it up it might be a 56. Also says that left left side is the rotisserie. I guess it means it's an oven too. Was the rotisserie in the left side back then? Les. |

Well, based on the serial number, the range was manufactured in 1956, I think. You can follow the link to a website about dating GE appliances. However, I don't find anything about an "NN" prefix, so who knows for sure.
I do have a copy of the 1954 catalog and the knobs on this range do not match the knobs on the 1954 ranges. The knobs do match those shown on the 1956 models.
I do not have information for 1955, so perhaps that's where the answer lies. Or, this could be a special model that is not illustrated in the catalog.
