Well, mystery solved! I've been watching some episodes on Decades Television, and have been trying to determine what brand oven was featured on the show. Here it is ... a Caloric. The oven window and off-set handle are what caught my attention.

Brad, one of my best friends form high school's family rented a house that had that exact wall oven (same color) and the corresponding gas cooktop.

More Dick Van Dyke Show Appliance Trivia

philcobendixduo's profile picture
I am currently watching the Dick Van Dyke show on DVD (complete series).
In the very first episode (The Sick Boy and the Sitter), the kitchen appliances are all by Westinghouse.
There is a wall oven with the controls to the left of the door (looks like a microwave of today), a refrigerator, a cooktop and a dishwasher.
That episode was filmed January 20, 1961
After that episode, the appliances changed to the familiar Caloric oven etc. with no dishwasher.
In the series pilot (with a different cast entitled "Head of the Family") the appliances are all Fridgidaire.
The pilot was from 1959 and starred Carl Reiner.

The Westinghouse appliances in first episode are the same ones as our neighbors across the street. They moved into their house August, 1961.

The refrigerator.....

.....that accompanied the Caloric oven was an RCA Whirlpool. I finally was able to read the nameplate on the freezer door in an episode I watched today.

The cooktop is gas and has an angled control panel on the right.
Caloric as well?

Yes, Calor cooktop. One of my best friends from high school, rented a house with the same wall oven & cooktop.

In Season Five....

.....the offset handled Caloric oven has been replaced with a more conventional looking double oven - also Caloric as far as I can see. Windows in both doors.

The cooktop and refrigerator remained the same.

Yeah, I'd say the replacement double wall oven is Caloric. And is electric.
