A couple of nights ago (Sunday night/Monday morning) an episode of the original "Beat the Clock" game show was broadcast on the "Buzzer" channel.  At the end of the program a married couple was awarded a 40-inch, two oven, Kenmore electric range, described as being "worth over two hundred dollars."

The program, at the time, was primarily sponsored by Sylvania, and the particular product highlighted was not the range itself but a heating element which appeared to be a high-powered light bulb which replaced the familiar coil cooking unit.  The bulb looked much like that used for an outdoor floodlight.  In many ways it seemed to be the forerunner of the current halogen cooking units.

Does anyone know anything about this range, or other electric units that used such a heating element?  In many ways it resembled either a GE Stratoliner or Liberator model, mainly because of the styling, and the pushbuttons located at the top of the control panel.  The product itself was announced as being a Kenmore product furnished by Sears, Roebuck and Company.

The closing credits of this particular episode did not list a copyright date.  In looking at the clothing fashions of people on the program, as well as the style of other products featured, I would estimate the program date as being generally between 1952 and 1956 or so. 

Thanks in advance.

Thanks, everyone!
