I've never seen a Kelvinator smoothtop either. Very unique and looks really nice. | ||

1545 Clyde Park SW Grand Rapids was originally a Leonard Refrigerator factory, acquired by Kelvinator in 1926, closed in 1987, burned down in 1996.

I noticed the stamping design on the bottom drawer is identical to the ones on Gibson ranges of that era also. Namely, their double oven one. So Kelvinator/Gibson were already conglomerating into White Consolidated. | ||

Gibson was sold by Hupp Corp. to WCI in '67, and Kelvinator was sold by AMC to WCI in '68. | ||

I searched 1972 Gibson corning top electric range, and the photo looks almost identical to the Kelvinator. | ||

Gibson Built Range Run away fast, A total POS, Kelvinator at least built fairly decent electric ranges, but this is no Kelvinator.
Its not even Self-Cleaning, has no top-heat for good baking and an unresponsive SLOW to heat cook-top, not the type of thing anyone that actually cooks would like.
And I won't even comment of the low class uninspired styling, LOL. | ||
