I have been watching "I Dream of Jeannie" on DVD and just finished season 3.
One "oddity" in the kitchen is that there is what appears to be a "Flair-like" range (but isn't one).
It has what looks like two ovens with side-hinged glass doors and a pull-out for the burners.
I can only see two control knobs above the ovens so I'm wondering if that unit has pull-out burners or it's just some kind of work surface since there is a stand-alone cooktop adjacent to it.
Maybe it's just a prop and not a production appliance of the day.
Can anyone enlighten me?
THANKS!

Season 3 Range

Bill,

That is a good eye for detail that you have! During the 1960s there were two companies that produced similarly styled ranges. There were Frigidaire (Flair line), and Tappan (400 line, including the "Fabulous 400").

Frigidaire Flair ranges had oven doors that opened vertically (up), and the Tappan 400 ranges had oven doors that opened out horizontally. From your description, and after looking at images from the third season of "I Dream of Jeannie," it seems safe to conclude that this is a Tappan product.

It was a regular practice of the time, on television productions, to obscure the brand name or an identifying feature of a product that was not directly connected or sponsored with the show. For this reason, it is difficult to say exactly which model the range was used in the third season.

Here is an article that explains the differences between the Frigidaire and Tappan products:

It could also be

a Roper or a Whirlpool as they both made high-oven models that has side swing doors on the ovens at the time.

Roper also made one for Kenmore. The Hotpoint Hallmark is another not previously mentioned. I've not seen "Jeannie" lately, so can't say what Tony had.

And there were times when there were two ranges or a range and a cooktop in that kitchen too!
