 I can't get anything past "photo 1 of 5" to display.
The stove is from the '40s, probably 1948 or a little earlier, but I'm pretty sure it's not a 1940.
That is an odd glide situation on the drawers. My mom had her 1949 Westinghouse until she went into skilled nursing in 2007 and the drawers on that stove worked smooth as silk.
A replacement handle will not be an easy find. Depending on the clock's manufacturer, the knob is likely the same as on vintage wall clocks or clock radios of similar vintage by the same maker if you come across one.
Burners are tough to find. Don't bang pots around on them. Stir things instead. That's what made my mom's stove's burners last for 60 years. Bake and broil elements can be replaced if necessary. Any independent appliance parts shop should be able to assist if you need either one. | ||

Well............... That looks to be an early 50's Kenmore missing ALL of it's original handles. Those handles are replacements. | ||

The range IS a Westinghouse, and this style was available as early as '46, and ran until about '48 or '49. This particular cabinet version was introduced before WWII, but had a different backsplash with an incandescent rather than florescent light. Link shows Westinghouse appliances for '46-'49.

Aluminum drawers It's possible - especially if yours is a '46 model - that due to material shortages immediately after the war, that they used aluminum for such parts. Ralph said his mom's had steel drawers, as does my '53 model, so it wasn't used for long. | ||

Late 40s WH Ranges With Aluminum Drawers I have seen these earlier models with aluminum drawers and they did not hold up as well as the later steel drawers, probably the best thing to do is to steal the drawers from a slightly later model, these ranges show up fairly often.
You bigger problem if you actually want to use this range much are thromostat and surface unit switch problems.
