Chambers C "Grace", highback, white. Era '49-'53
Chambers C "Grace", highback, white. Era '49-'53
A classic Chambers highback, the first of 3 versions of the C model, with striking red cloisonné oven dials and “Chambers” logo backsplash badge. Beautiful to look at, fun to cook on, and, once serviced, will last longer than any new stove you can buy.
The DuraChrome cooktop and controls are in very nice condition, as well as the exterior enameled panels. Same for the interior enamel of the ThermoWell, match-lit oven, and broiler. Spaces below the cooktop burners are rather crusty (evidence of an enthusiastic cook), but for an extra fee we can do a thorough cleaning.
Using the Chambers “Idle Hour” cookbook, this gem can take you from having no idea of what’s for dinner to a 4-course meal in no time, using very little gas. If you are love cooking, you will LOVE cooking on a Chambers. The griddle and flip-up broiler are always at your fingertips. The 3 cooktop burners are quick to heat and easy to finesse. The ThermoWell functions as both a slow cooker (for broth, soup and stew), AND, with the optional ThermoBaker, as a mini-oven, for everything from baked potatoes to pies.
“Alma’s” oven is match-lit. (We can convert it to an auto-lighting safety system for $950). Use it’s “Retained Heat” ability for cooking with 1/3 the gas. You will be amazed.
