unusual script

Very Frigidaire-esque.... reminds me of the script on the 57 Frigidaire Super range I learned to cook on.  

1976 is the only year that I'm aware of them using the gold paint on the backsplash.

I'm wondering if this might be a Canadian product that found its way south to Pittsburgh.  As we've seen before, it's a mis-match of what we used to "know".  For one thing, this one has a handle that's oriented vertically; GE switched the orientation from horizontal to vertical in 1968.  Again, the color of the backsplash is gold, that only appeared on the US models in 1976; yet, this one uses graphics of much older GE models.  That was rather normal for GE with their Canadian products; as if they were using up old inventory or as if they were reserving the "new and improved" for the domestic market.  To a lesser degree they did that with their Hotpoint step child.  After the new wore off a new feature (and the R&D costs recouped) then they were willing to share the feature with the "other" badges.

I felt the same pain as our Canadian neighbors did for being treated differently by U.S. manufacturers well into the 1960s. 

Growing up, many, many products hit the east coast first.  Anyone west of the Rockies was out of luck.  I remember a late 1950s visit to relatives in Chicagoland and discovering the Hula Hoop.  When we got home to California, they were nowhere to be found.  It was like that for other toys and things like Schwinn bicycles, for which Captain Kangaroo would always tag his Schwinn spots with the advisory, "Prices slightly higher in the west and south." 

Even after all of those decades, I still can't shake the long since inverted notion of east coast arrogance (north of the Mason-Dixon line) toward all parts of the country west of the Mississippi.

"east coast arrogance (north of the Mason-Dixon line) toward all parts of the country west of the Mississippi."

I don't remember that but during the 80s there was many efforts to standardize commercial interests.

The "south" even to this day seems like it's still trying to catch up to stuff that, to many in the midwest and east coast, has been common for decades.  It's ignorance and corruption (republicans) and lack of moral leadership on the part of governance in those regions .  Such a waste.

Some small town idiot group an hour or so away, last month posted a "book burning event" on FB which of course was removed shortly there after.    How f*cking stupid can these people get?  It's 2021. 

Maybe someone who "does" FB would be willing to reach out to the seller and ask about the model number and serial number?  I don't do FB.

yeah, it's mid 70s and rather bol.   

Robert has posted about this series in the Manuals & Literature section.  I think I even bought the brochure at one point.
