Saw this while trolling Kansas City CL - an usual sight for sure. Montgomery Ward built-ins from this era are pretty rare. Does anyone know who made this? Tappan? CLICK HERE TO GO TO gansky1's LINK on Kansascity Craigslist |

Although I agree with the above, it looks like one of the Tennessee stove manufacturers, Martha Washington, Modern Maid or Enterprise. |

They had some interesting appliances, MM was sold only through kitchen remolding companies, so kitchen cabinet distributors etc had an exclusive product, they did not have to worry about competing with the GE, WP, HP, Frigidaire, etc dealer down the street.
MM at some point was owned by Raython as was Amana and Caloric, so a few MM appliances were really Calorics or Amana refrigerators and were not to bad.
Being in the appliance repair business I can tell you Hans is correct, the general construction quality especially thing little things like door hinges were crap, LOL. |
