A pretty turquoise range, complete with its griddle, just waiting to join other turquoise appliances (Paul!)...

This is a single-oven model, correct?

Oh wow, this is the stove model that I really wanted, but ended up getting the 58 Liberator. Does anyone know if the automatic grill pictured is the one that will work on the 58 Liberator?

This is from 1956. The griddle is different on the redesigned 57 and later models.

My Mom has that stove in white.

She has the griddle and rotisserie and a few other accessories.  It has the burner that goes down and a pan that fits in there (sorry can't remember what that's called).  She bought it when I was a kid and it's been in her basement kitchen for years.  Now that she is older it doesn't get much use but I can remember many holidays over the years where part of our meal was in one of those ovens.  Usually the turkey at Thanksgiving and the Leg of Lamb at Easter.  Lot's of great memories with that thing.

 

Although for some reason I thought hers was a hotpoint.  I'll have to check the next time I'm home.

What you're describing does sounds more like a Hotpoint than GE.

great range, built like a tank, and those cool clear burner control buttons that light up in 5 different colors!

I believe I've seen that burner that lowers referred to as a 'deep-well cooker'.  My grandmother's 1947 GE had that feature.  The range in this thread was introduced in 1954 and did include the DWC, but that feature was dropped (no pun intended) from the 1955 model.  Also, since this one is turquoise it could be no older than 1955 as that was the year GE introduced their mix-or-match colors.

Thank you, Ken, for the info. I don't think I've ever seen a picture of what the griddle for the 58 looks like.

Lawrence, you and I are practically neighbors. I live down the road in Pensacola :-) Jeannine

The 58 and later griddle has a taller hinged plug because the outlet on the backsplash it plugs into was located higher up. Its hinged so it can fold down for storage. I have the 58 owners manual. I'll see about scanning the picture that shows the griddle and posting.

Found a picture of later style griddle

Did a search here and found this pic of a 57. You can see the hinged plug at the back of the griddle.

Thank you, Ken, for the picture. I did download some of the publications from this site so I've seen the illustrations, but wanted to see what one looked like in "real life" so to speak. Now I have a better idea of what to look for, although it sounds like finding one of those or a meat thermometer is like finding a needle in a haystack! Jeannine

Jeannine,

Yep, you're about an hour east of here.  How do you like Pensacola?

I actually live a few miles past Pensacola in Santa Rosa County. We like it here and have been in the area for around 25 years. How long have you been in Mobile? Are there any good vintage appliance places your way?

Jeannine,

pulltostart's profile picture

I have only lived here about 2.5 years, but my parents have lived here since the spring of 1975.  I'm not aware of any good vintage places here.  Shopping in general isn't as bad as it was in 1976, but it still pretty much sucks.  Thank goodness now we have the internet!

Lawrence,

Not too many good places around here, either. Was thinking about going to Foley or Mobile this weekend to check out some antique places, but the weather is supposed to be bad.
