This postcard has a light green Frigidaire kitchen range. On the back it says: "Now Frigidaire brings you the joy of COOKING without SLAVING in the new '59 electric ranges with the 'PULL 'N CLEAN" OVEN!'" This looks very similar to the green range my parents had, though theirs would have been a 1954 model without a "pull 'n clean" oven.
Other colors of Pull 'n Clean ovens, as shown in magazine ads of the 1960s, were pink and yellow. The first color-matched appliances were offered by Frigidaire in 1954. The Pull 'N Clean oven which pulled out for "stand-up cleaning" was introduced in 1958.

These oven mitts look like they would have been a lot of fun to use or play with. The long-eared one must be a bunny. The short-eared one is probably meant to be a dog.

You really brought back memories with your post for me. We have had colored appliances, but they were not this color.
ReplyDeleteNot sure which I like better, the postcard or the commercial! Great post!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the memories as someone famous used to say. I had forgotten about the removalable oven but remember the commericals now.
ReplyDeleteI am drooling over that range, I've wanted a 1950's range since we bought our house. Love it!

I love this ad. This stove reminds me of the one we had in 1971 at Loring Air Force Base, Maine. Of course it was old even then, but it was a good stove. Funny but they don't say anything about that back left burner that was used either for cooking soup, beans, roast or other foods. It had a pot that was inserted into the burner. Pretty cool!
ReplyDeleteThanks for your visit today.

Cute little oven mitts! That oven is pretty spectacular - it seems like a good idea. Thanks for stopping by my blog on VTT! I'd love to see your Girl Scout stuff - ebay has lots of old pins and badges...kind of fun to look at those!
ReplyDeleteThanks for coming by! You are a fount of information on publishing. Those 50's appliances were/are cool. The colors are popular in fabrics now. The mitts are the cutest.
ReplyDeleteYour posts are always so much fun! I love looking at vintage stoves - love that color. I've never heard of a stove that had a pull out oven before but I sure can remember oven mitts like those.
ReplyDeleteHappy VTT,
Sally
Thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment on my vintage insulators. Enjoyed your post, and the memories of grandma's stove. Sandi
ReplyDeleteStoves were made to last back then and Frigidaire was one of the best you could buy in the 50's and 60's. My husband sold them in the late 60's. They were very popular.
ReplyDeleteLove the colors. Loved the video....
Love the video :-)
