Vintage O'Keefe and Merritt Stove




Vintage O'Keefe and Merrit Stove - I believe around the 1930's or 40's. White Stove with 4 burners plus 2 covered spots above the old kindler \ wood or trash burning bin. There are four doors on the front, top left is the kindler, top right is the oven, bottom left is storage below kindler, bottom right is the broiler below the oven.
There is a fold up cover over the burners. When closed it produces a clean white surface. There are little arms on each side to prop up the cover to produce an odd little shelf over the back two burners.
There is a place to put the old Salt and Pepper shakers but they jumped off the back long ago, crashing into a million little pieces. In the center above the stove there is a light fixture, and a two dial display - one is a clock, the other is a cooking reference chart.
The oven has and cookers have been used for the past 8 years. All four burners will light but some require a match. You will need to adjust the tube below the chrome that funnels the pilot light to the ring for instant light. The oven is not clean. The chrome is worn.
Oven is usable as is, with a good cleaning. One of the old stove refurbishers could do an amazing job w re chrome, etc.
I really like the old stove and will miss it.
