Everything about it says "cheap mobile home". Could be Hardwick, Dixie or one of the Cleveland, TN brands. Probably worth more like $25.

When I first moved into an apartment up here, the itty, bitty, teeny, tiny kitchen had a 30 inch coppertone gas range with no identification markings on it. On Presidents' Day, I tore into it to do some cleaning and when I pulled the broiler drawer out to clean the floor under it, I discovered a nameplate in the broiler compartment with the name Welbuilt. Giving the devil his due, the oven baked very evenly with the round burner, but it did not broil worth a damn. These ranges share many design features, although the one in my apartment had the knobs on a panel slightly lower than the cooktop instead of on the front. Every evil action in my life I paid for by having to cook on that stove.

Yes, one of the above.

Most cheap mobile homes don't have a slide in, but a low end magic Chef or equivalent.
I almost bought a brand new 16' by 80 ft. Fairmont in 1993. I was deleting the appliances, and plumbing fixtures and upgrading to Kitchen Aid, and Kohler. I was already used to nicer things in my life, and the separation left me bought out of a nice ranch mostly of which I cosmetically renovated since 1988. I didn't want an aprtment.
When I went o close the deal, a disclosure statement was presented to waiver any health issues I might incurr due to fermeldahyde in the flooring, wall coverings, cabinetry, and insulation. Well, as I do suffer from allergies, and had chronic bronchitis in winters, I decided to pass and found a cheap apartment for $375 a month
on a year lease with month to month option afterward. I put my equity in a CD, and moved in. Nothing fancy, but a roomy 1 bdrm. No balcony, pool, etc. but it was home for 18 months. Now have a nice house, paid in full, and no lot rent.

Yes I figured likely one of those “off brand” stoves. Being it has a power cord, I assume it’s for an oven light, or perhaps this actually has electric ignition?

70s mobiles here in Florida seemed to often have Magic Chef cooktops with a wall oven adjacent. Into the 80s usually had almond gas or electric Magic Chef freestanding ranges. After that GE seemed to become popular by the mid to late 1990s.

The ad says it's a 110v oven but that power cord looks kind of wimpy but then plenty of 110v space heaters didn't have much more either.

I highly doubt it has a 110 v oven. If so I’ve never heard of such a range. Also notice no bake element, which shows its most likely gas. I doubt the seller knows what they’re saying or else they meant to say 110 v oven light.

Probably right. I didn't look too closely at the oven pic but thought that looked like a square calrod element on the bottom

Missed one odd detail…

I just noticed something is strangely missing. Where’s the handle for the broiler drawer? I don’t see any screw holes so it doesn’t appear to be missing.

Broiler Drawer

Maybe it's so cheap it doesn't have one. No clock, no backsplash, does it even have an oven light? I'm surprised it doesn't have to be lit with a match. Someone had to be pretty hard up to buy such a stove in the first place.

It could have an upper broiler in the oven, but doubtful. Maybe the plug was for electronic ignition. But a cheap piece of crap that wouldnt be in my house
