I didn't know L&H even still existed when this oven was produced.  It doesn't appear to have seen much use.  Two more pix in the link.

L&H/Thermidor electric oven

Hi Ralph, wow, that ovens in great shape, this oven would be no newer than 1955 and could be several years older than that.

Funny that they don’t think it works well, probably don’t know how to cook lol.

Where's the built-in obsolesence when you need it?

My Uncle and his partner had this L&H oven that was part of an early Fifties kitchen.  There were also two L&H twin thick coil burner cooktops and one of those early Fifties GE refrigerator/freezers with the semi-circular metal shelves that revolved outwards. The kitchen also sported pink gingham pattern formica countertops with the steel trim. They demolished that old kitchen in the early Seventies and built a new kitchen on the ground floor, keeping one of the L&H cooktops (that they used all the time because they got tired of the new Corning Stove's flat SLOWcooking surfaces VERY quickly {but, aesthetically, it was one of the most beautiful electric ranges I've ever seen and it had a very fast GM Frigidaire oven}) and the L&H built in oven. The L&H cooktop and the Corning Range both lasted until the house was sold in 2012; the L&H oven lasted until 1998.

Thanks John.  I thought it was a Thermador until I saw the picture I posted above.  I agree about the (likely millennial) sellers thinking it doesn't work well.  I think that's probably because it's not a microwave oven.

 

This would be a great item for anyone looking to outfit a retro kitchen, and you can't beat the price.  In greater L.A., it would be snapped up quickly.  Maybe some Oakland hipster will save it.
