Per the ad: "This vintage stove is ready for you to restore!
The good news is it is free. The bad news is, you have to carry up (just 7!) outdoor cellar steps.
Free to whoever can pick up first.
Measures 40" wide x 46" tall x 26" deep. "

who made ranges for Crosley, or were they made by them?

They made them

Also the Bendix ranges were essentially the same except for the backsplash and controls.

Any back splash and controls would look better than that frumpy mess.

The Father Knows Best Kitchen, after the Westinghouse kitchen, had Crosley appliances. The range was attractive.

Surprised by the "location" I looked it up.  California, KY is less than one quarter square mile in area and is right on the Ohio river, it also has a population  LESS THAN 90 people (86 per the last sensus!)

Crosley had a large multi-story (8) factory on Arlington St. in Cincinnati's Camp Washington neighborhood. It is very visible from I-75. Hopefully it will be converted to apts. or condos sometime in the future, as the nearby American Can building has been.. I was in the place about 30 years ago on a temp job for a couple days. It is VERY well constructed of solid reinforced concrete. Link tells about the building.

Talking about Crosley, I just finished ....

the book entitled. "Crosley: Two Brothers and a Business Empire That Transformed the Nation".

What a great read! As one Amazon reviewer put it best ..... "During a time in history that saw the dawn of several new technologies, we see the brilliant moments of human creativity that seem to reach out across the universe to harness what can only be described as magic from some other world and bringing it through the human mind into reality on this planet. The reader is transported through time in brilliant color as Powel and Lewis Crosley establish a way to work together that compliments their strengths, but also amplifies personality dynamics that dramatically sway the results of their business pursuits. It’s a fascinating window into human behavior. The two brothers use their complementary strengths to learn to latch on to these supernatural inventions and create industrial mechanisms to bring them to the masses. And it shows the one thing we all battle: the vulnerabilities of the flawed human mind, and the limitations of success if a healthy balance in life is not maintained."

It is mind blowing to read about all the different things they brought to market and all the struggles they went through where most people would have simply walked away. I highly suggest you read this book if you love stories of the American dream! These two brothers were simply brilliant.
