Once again I’m in the market for vintage appliances. We’re getting ready to sell up and move to some acreage so we’ll be building this time. The idea is to build the kitchen in vintage so that means vintage appliances in good condition. Since my ‘64 Coldspot fridge was refurbished in yellow to match my current basement kitchen, I want to use that as the basis for everything else. Which means that buttery, perky, yellow, not Harvest Gold. I’m having trouble finding this color in this part of the country for some reason. Need double ovens, stove top, vent hood, etc. Does anyone have any leads within 300 miles of Knoxville?

or whatever the different mfrs called that color in vintage appliances ended being available around the mid '60s, and in my experience it's a fairly rare color compared to coppertone and turquoise. We had a '58 GE range in that color and now wish that we had kept it, haven't seen another in the 7-8 years since we parted with it. It's an attractive color, best of luck!

Are you open to repainting?

Unfortunately, Davenport, IA is more than 300 miles, but there's this lovely yellow GE stove:

These are also in Knoxville, but I can't tell if this is Harvest Gold or not. They don't appear to have the darker edge that are in Lawrence's pictures.

Sunny yellow

That first stove is fabulous! As far as painting is concerned, we had the fridge painted, but I’m concerned about how well paint will hold up under heat and a stove gets a lot more abuse than a refrigerator (scratches). I sold a yellow GE stove about 10 or more years ago, but it was a bol and only one oven.

Knoxville set

I’m pretty sure the Knoxville stove and fridge are harvest gold since my folks had that exact same harvest gold refrigerator back in the late ‘70’s/ early 80’s when I was in High School. Lol. BTW how are you finding these, I have been combing Knoxville Craigslist for 2 months. I must be missing a code word.

This set is post-1976.  This color is not "Harvest Gold" but "Harvest"; one of "The New Naturals" introduced in 1977, intended to be compatible with the earlier colors but lacking the edge shading.

Canary Yellow was the last of the original 1955 GE colors to be discontinued. It was dropped from the line sometime in late '67 or early '68, when they introduced Harvest. Turquoise was discontinued in '66 when Avocado became available, and Petal Pink was the first to go away around '65.
