I had started a range thread over a year ago and thought I would start another one. I hope that people would add to it. I personally have no prefrence over gas or electric. I just see the ranges made today and not to say weather or not they are all bad but I feel we didnt realize how good we had it with more flexability back in the day.
Lets start with what I think is a gibson! |

1931 "Tiffin" model Magic Chef. Hands down the best oven for baking bread I've ever used. |

Regarding ranges, I liked electric ones mostly because they are a lot more precise in transferring heat from the burner to the cookware.Gas ranges have flames that can waste fuel and not be as precise as the electric ones. A lot of owners/users of the electric ranges have no clue as to how to first turn them on to get hot,then set the level of heat you need. Then,once the food is either boiling or simmering, you can "tune in" on the right level of heat and it will stay there as long as you want without burning or scorching.I've never been able to do that with any gas range. The baking in electric ovens is also more precise because they need nothing other than a vent to let the heat escape.Gas ovens need lots of breathing and have openings every where.Again,causing gas to escape and waste fuel.They look great though and when they were in their prime,the models you have shown are absolutely fabulous!!!

I grew up with gas and most people I know had gas stoves. Mostly they spoke about how they would never have electric. After using electric ranges I liked them. The 1st electric experience of my own was a late 60's hotpoint cooktop and wall oven.
The wall oven was the best I ever used. The cooktop was ok but I replaced it with a Summit 24 inch cooktop that I liked a lot. I liked the fact that the coils unplugged and the top lifted up to clean and it had more power than the hotpoint. When I moved I had to have gas (a coop rule) The 1st few years I had a 1950' 20 inch wincroft in my coop than when I redone the kitchen 10 years ago I bought a sears with 2 power burners. It cooks as well as the electric coil in my openion but I would take a electric oven over a gas oven any day! Back in the 70's and early 80's my Aunt had a complete GM Frigidaire home but she had a gas hardwick stove. I knew a few people that had complete Frigidaire homes with the exception of various stoves gas! More pictures and stories welcome! Thanks, Peter |

Monarch wood, gas, electric, wood/gas, wood/electric stoves were built in Bever Dam, WI., not Beaver Bay. My maternal grandmother, and mom had 30" Monarch gas ranges, and one of my dad's paternal aunt's had a 40" electric range and they were all built very solidly. Grandma used the heat from the pilot light to raise her homemade bread faster, and it was always as light as a feather. I miss mom's Monarch, she now has a POS GE gas range. |

That's a Monarch. If a range could ever be called sexy, that one fits the description! I'd take that over a red sports car any day. |

My mother had a Corning 3+1 range and I remember she loved it. Much better than the GE Americana,I still have all the instructions for it too. What was interesting is that it came with a VHS tape on how to demonstrate the cooktop and oven as it came with corning smoothtop cookware. That was a good range, but got replace when the kitchen got remolded. Couldn't have the harvast gold stove in a new kitchen.

Dad's Aunt Ella had the Monarch model F178W electric range, minus the deep well cooker. When she died, it was sold to friends of my parents who had rental properties. I often wonder how long it survived being in a rental unit.
When we bought our house, it had a Frigidaire smooth top range like the one pictured above. The top was really stained, and both of us were used to gas, so we replaced it with a 1998 Magic Chef gas range. |

The caloric range was a good range at one time but by the 70's the quality went to the dump. In 1977 when my family purchased a hi low range and it was nothing but trouble. Most people I knew that had caloric ranges had a lot of problems. First off the bottom oven was constantly dying in the middle of cooking. Also the self cleaning didnt operate properly and the bottom of the oven warped after a few uses. My parents after fighting with caloric had the stove replaced 4 times in 3 years. Than they went to the better business bearu and caloric was forced to give my family money back. They bought a roper self clean stove and a seperate microwave on top and it still works today. I did like the setup on the caloric but it was nothing but trouble. The attached picture is like the one we had except ours was white and had a black glass front. The upper oven and burners worked ok.

A good range, but it has a few drawbacks, no oven light, 3 small units, but the thing I hate is the divided top, I like clustered units better. |

Even worse are the copper ones, beautiful when new, but covered in a clear enamel, that, when it scratches..moisture gets in and soon the copper tarnishes in patches, I have a Sunbeam mixer this has happened to. |

How over the top can a person go? I think it cheapens the look of that fine old range. And cleaning it?! The maid must have been thrilled. |

And another of my favorites (there are too many!), an early 50s Kenmore with a very deco look to it... please disregard the need for some polish :) |

Put that Kenmore in my Kitchen tomorrow!! as for the Philco, beautiful and well built, but I have never had a automatic control unit yet that would work, I would love to actually use one that did, The one on my Norge is terrible. |

I remember those Tappans with the warming shelf. At the time I thought what a wonderful idea, just like the warming cabinets above an old woodburning cookstove. |

--The CALORIC gas ranges seem to be the worst! And the late-'60's to '70's when I thought they looked their BEST!
And although the '50's to mid-'60's were the most reliable as they were elegant, they lacked the benefit of self-cleaning! The Westinghouse upper/lower-double, there, is a nice range and a shame those ranges had always long-been second-fiddle to the ever-more popular GE (and unfortunately the clock-timer was notoriously just "one" of the things that went wrong with 'em!)... Nice stoves & I love seein' 'em, so,--PLEASE!--put up more! -- Dave |

Some notes,
All the pictured Corning smooth-top ranges were made by Corning, only on the first couple of years were the ovens made by GM Frigidare, but buy about 1970 they made thier own complete range and it was OK but not a Frigidare. These Corning ranges were later sold under the Amana name also.
Doug that WH hi-low range on Ebay is very neat [ did everyone notice it has the WH stirrer on the right front burner? ] I weren't 3000 miles away I would be going after that one, I hope someone from the club gets it. |

I have never seen a range with a hot water dispenser. I'm wondering if there is a water reserve somewhere or if it needs a water line connection like a refrigerator?
EDIT: I got the answer on Google... But I'm still wondering where's the storage tank and if it requires a pump to get water there!

Those late 50's early 60's Hotpoints look similar in some ways to parts of the Custom Trend I have. Same parts for sure.
The Custom Trend does have a rotisserie motor, but I don't have that attachment. Someday maybe. I erroneously said it needed restoration. That's actually too strong. It does work but it really needs some wiring updated and a good cleaning. Overall it is in really good condition. I remember those pull-out Teflon walls. We had samples of those that we used as cookie-sheets for years. A pink Hotpoint fridge would be nice to accompany the range. However maybe I'll just paint my Crosley pink. Hmmmm. |

the first year for the Radiantube burners--not the ones we're used to. Instead they are like calrod or corox burners. Second year for double oven ranges. Enjoy! |

It's interesting that I have two brochures for 1939. January and July. In July of 1939, Frigidaire introduced their first 2 oven range. I love the styling of the deluxe ranges! Have a good weekend. We're off to Spokane in the a.m.! Greg |
