Kitchen Range

[Anachronism]

Here's one of very few appliances I've actually bought, paid $20.00. Has a solid top with lids like a coal/wood stove, but burns gas. Been using it since 1996.
Made by Favorite Stove & Range, Piqua Ohio

NEAT!

I love to see people actually using old stuff!!What kind of control is that on the box to the right, ????

My best guess there was oven control, but it is interesting

I added an oven thermostat when I cleaned it up in 1996. I had seen the stove on the porch of an antique shop for about a year, and asked about it just before the proprietor was going to scrap it. I got it for the same price the dealer paid: $20.

I have a deep appreciation for well built simple equipment that does it's job. I like to have input as to how that job is done, without electronic interference. After 50+ years using ancient tools & equipment in the skilled trades I now spend summers demonstrating how this stuff was used.

I think younger people actually think nothing could be done unless a computer is involved....I wonder how Einstein and Thomas Edison managed!!LOL
