The first place I lived after "moving out" of my parents' home.
It was two floors up, to the apartment that was previously my grandmother's. Glenwood, "gas and gas", I think they called it, as the left side is a heater that was the heat source for the apartment. Barry Edit: Sorry it looks so dirty! These pictures were taken after the apartment had sat vacant for several years. I kept it much cleaner when I was living there!

Louis,
The fumes from the heater are directed up the stovepipe.
I have a picture of the back of the unit, but it's a little difficult to make out. Barry

1999-2008 GE Trivection Ovens and Ranges An amazing triumph of American engineering, 5 motors, 7 PCB boards, four heating elements [ in the oven ] reversing convection with its own element, and over 400 screws to assemble it,
Built in the US, with at least a few imported parts.

 In the mid '80s I lived in a 1937 house that had its original Wedgewood range. It was trash & gas, plus it had a separate heater. The thermocouple on the heater burner was pristine; the heater had never been used. I lit the pilot and used it.
The stainless 8" ducting to the flue ran across the back of the oven from behind the trash burner (narrow upper door on the left) and then into the wall. I once had a good fire going in there and it was so hot that years of oil buildup on the ducting's exterior started to smoke and smell. I toned it down after that.
Unlike other Wedgewood models from the same period that had black accent trim on the knobs, drawer and door handles, this one had orange. I have pictures, but they're all snapshots that haven't been scanned. It was very similar to this 1935 model with the black trim, and its cooktop cover had the same solid ivory finish. Much more clean looking than the green square pattern that was so common on Wedgewoods from this period.
This model of Wedgewood could run rings around anything made today, with many of the conveniences we take for granted and countless times the durability of any "professional" type modern gas range.

Well.....
Allow me to present my 1968 Kelvinator Tri-Leval! I got it late last year, I just wanted an upgrade. It has a built in Rotisserie, and several timers, two convenience outlets, surface light, Speed Heat burner, and the Pan.O.Matic burner! Which is just Kelvinatior's version of GE's SensiTemp.

In my case, a turquoise range thread... LOL To be fair, I have also owned 2 white, 1 almond, 1 avocado, and 1 stainless range but hey, they're not turquoise, so...
In chronological order: 1962 McClary, 1964 Kelvinator, 1956 GE (part of the Wonder Kitchen), and the 1962 Frigidaire Flair. The GE and the Frigidaire are still around and in use at the houses in Ogden and St-Liboire respectively. | ||

I'll throw in a couple pics to keep things interesting. Just buttoned up this GE Versatronic, running great now (including the turntable) but I'm on the lookout for a Sensi-temp burner to make it 100%.

Cool Versatronic Range Where did you find this one Cory ? I have had about 6 of the hi-low oven versions this range but have never found this earlier single oven model.
Very neat, I have lots of ST elements for this range and some other parts as well.
Are you going to use this range in your home?, once you learn the advantages of Micro-Thermal cooking you can never go back.

I love that style GE but I don't want the Versatronic I want the regular one. | ||

Hey John,
This Versatronic came out of Michigan, I don't think it saw much use, but when the original house it was in sold, the new owners stashed it in their garage just long enough for mice to make a mess of it. The lower power supply area was especially bad. All cleaned up now. It also came with the vinyl binder full of recipes, registration punch card and the aluminum griddle. I can see how using a combination heating element and MW would be intimidating at first. No window to check on progress, and opening the door (after activating the latch solenoid and unlocking) is a little cumbersome, plus it resets the MWO warmup timer. But I am looking forward to trying a couple recipes to see how it turns out. | ||

My 1960's Magic Chef Consept Series. Its fully loaded and is about as fully automatic as a gas range can get. It is a fantastic stove. I never uderstood, what is the original purpouse of convinence outlets? Only thing i could ever think of was an electric perkolator.

Re Aluminum Aluminum is still the best metal to cook in, I believe nothing any so called authorities tell me about it, Its a proven fact you get more aluminum from anti perspirant or a Tums than you get from cooking high acid foods in aluminum . | ||

RE-Oliger about the Conveince outlets.
In addition to the reply by FanOfFans about needing extra outlets in a kitchen, which just for the record, I do agree with. I just also wanted to ad that, convenience outlets were also handy when mashing potatoes, and you just want to do so in the pan that they were boiled in. Or, when making certain kinds of frosting, and you need to beat it, while it is still over the heat.
In the case of my Kelvinator Tri-Leval that I posted previously, one of the outlets is timed via the timers. So thus you can time your coffee to go in the morning. While that is still possible with a regular outlet timer, its just one more feature of the illustrious TOL package. Just my two cents. | ||

Yes, a mixer! those are the kind of ideas I am looking for. And yes, my house was built in 1910. Although the kitchen was redone in 1972, there is still only 3 outlets, and one is for the refrigerator/ washing machine. So only 2 useable outlets. | ||

As classic as I could make, let alone, have:

My mom used the receptacle on the range for the toaster oven. If it was plugged in to the one on the wall, it would trip the breaker if the coffeemaker or waffle iron were being used. | ||

 My mother always plugged the electric skillet or the fry daddy into the plug-in on her 1966 40 inch coppertone Frigidaire electric range. I wish I could find a picture of my grandmother's old crosley electric range from the 50's (I think). I think I remember it had coiled wire elements in the oven and a deep well on top. | ||

Harvest Gold WH Terrace-Top Range Is going to Michigan to join the Cavalcade of Ranges next weekend, I tested the No-Turn Speed-Broil feature, ran a Self-Cleaning cycle and upgraded the rusty chrome burner bowls to porcelain bowls that can be run through the SC cycle.
WH had a neat SC cycle that only used the broiler element and only took about one hour start to finish, It did a really good job. It was a self timed cycle where all you had to do was latch the door and set the selector switch to clean.

The extra oven element is for the Westinghouse No-Turn Speed Broil feature. | ||
