Looks to be late 1950's, and in pretty good shape, with a couple of dings. But it's pink ! And a Norge !

If I hadn't already bought my green stove 2 years back, I would have been all over this! It's the same pink as my Flair!
1917-ish
Happy 100th birthday, house!!

note the overspray on the cart. You can make any stove pink in an hour.
looks like the side was greasy and repelled the paint. that seam below the right edge seems similar. paint won;t stick to grease.

Gone! Thanks for posting the photo, Willa, so I could at least see what y'all were talking about.

It's possible for a stove 60+ years old to be cosmetically in good condition. My Glenwood is 90 years old and the only cosmetic defects are the chips along the front of the upper warming shelf.

It all depends on how it was used. Phil does have a point, however, with his comments on the suspicious clues. In any case, it looks like an authentic pink from the era.

The overspray on the cart appears white. The seller had photos of the interior of the oven, with a couple of photos of minor dings to the enamel. It looks like there is crud on the side, from ya know, being used as a stove in a kitchen since 1960 or so, while installed snugly next to a cabinet.

This was pink from the factory, not the can.

Google 1950's stoves. There were loads of white ones, and some aqua ones, pink ones, yellow ones and a few other exotic colors like copper, red (very rare), mocha and others.

Sheesh, Phil.
