Although the seller believes it to be 1940’s.

One of my grandmas bought this range in avocado new in 1976. I believe the knobs are replacements on this one as hers did not look like that but the range does look to be in good shape for its age.

Definately they did use some knobs like this a few years.

Come on Melvin they’re only 30 years off lol.

Those are definitely generic knobs. Noticed that the oven even has a clean cycle on the knob. I bet that’s not calibrated to what the actual temperatures would be.

These were decent no-frills, gas stoves I guess they’re afraid to show us a picture of what the oven looks like however, I don’t think they’ll get more than about 10% of what they’re asking for.

Appliances with woodgrain (especially fake woodgrain) automatically put it in the very late 60's to very early 80's category.

No, the oven is not a self-cleaner… So those temperatures are going to be a bit off but a good chance that the highest will run almost as high as a self-clean…

Just a shame those knobs aren’t the originals!

Here’s a picture from the archives of a Hardwick stove with the style of knobs that grandma’s had.

The harvest gold

One pictured had the more deluxe knobs, the lower priced models did have the knobs pictured earlier.
