Hello all in applianceland. It's been a while since I posted here.
The kitchen appliances in Samantha and Darrin Stephen's kitchen on the 1964-1972 ABC sitcom Bewitched have been discussed here over the years. One of my pandemic projects has been watching the series in its entirety. Eventually I will be sharing my findings about the major appliances that are seen in the show. In seasons 1-6 (fall 1964 thru spring 1970) all of the major appliances are GM-produced Frigidaires. In the summer of 1970 there was a major fire on the set that destroyed the dressing rooms and much of the kitchen area. When the set was rebuilt, there was a new "breakfast room" that was added off of the kitchen. The wall where the Flair ranges had been was now gone. In its place was a peninsula with a gas cooktop. To the left of the cooktop (on the same wall with the sink and diswasher) was a dual wall oven unit. These had black glass doors. Can anyone identify the cooktop or the ovens? The buner arrangement in an "L" is a bit unusual. | ||

Cooktop identified
I think I have identified the cooktop.
I found a pic of this Tappan that appears to be the same model, but in white AND having seen many years of hard usse. It would seem that Tappan was the only manufacturer to ever arrange some of their cooktops in an inverted "L" arrangement like this.

As this show was filmed in California, I'd say it's likely that these are O'Keefe & Merritt brand, which was a Tappan division. Tappan and O'Keefe & Merritt also sold refrigerators, but I think they were made by another company, so it's possible that's what is in their kitchen. | ||

Not quite...these were from Mt. Vernon, IL and you saw them occasionally in and around late 50s subdivisions in St. Louis.
