Gezzzz, would you look at that. A mid century owners dream stove. All it takes is money, lots of it I bet, and it could be gracing your modern 1955 kitchen.

I haven't dared inquire. For all I know it may be FREE or $ 10,000. Ask them, Gothichome, I dare you ! If it is free or cheap go and get it ASAP !

It is such an excellent stove but never in my life have I used 4 burners at once, let alone six. While I am particularly susceptible to old stove charm this is really a doozy.

This is how a stainless steel appliance should look. What is with the crappy finish of today's stainless appliances anyway ?

Lovesickest, $1700.00 and it still available. Cheap I think when you start looking at new stoves at the higher end of the market. And it doesn't have nearly the class of this one.

I contacted the seller via email to ask a few questions and he told me the stove was $ 2500 !

Warning: bad seller, stay away.

I LOVE old stoves. I'd love a Western Holly or a Tappan Dough boy withe chrome lined oven and light up burner rings. Or a Chambers...But I am happy with my Floyd Wells Bengal.

We saw a 1930 I adored, but there was no way it would have fit in our small kitchen. Image 1930s Glenwood There also isn't currently a gas line into the house.

The stove we just bought was apparently not listed at the price the lister meant to list it. After I had paid her, she asked me where I saw it listed, and I told her. She then went to excuse herself to double check it, which I said I didn't mind. (In all honesty, I was worried I had remembered it wrong because my brain has been a bit fuzzy lately.)

When she came back, she seemed disappointed, but didn't dither. Apparently I'd remembered right. I was afraid to ask what she was really looking for price wise. I also feel a teensy bit guilty because I was so thrilled we got it at that price. I had assumed it was that low because two of the burners aren't working.
