O'Keefe-Merritt, 40", "Helen". Late 1950's
For a 60 year old single oven O’Keefe-Merritt, you are gonna be hard-pressed to find another in such pristine condition. Very little rust, very little wear. Fully-featured, top of the line , one of the best cooking machines ever made.
Starting at the top…. Totally singular, VERY rare late 50’s backsplash: Gorgeous machine-turned decorative pattern around the clock and indicator lights. Check out the cool transformer utility shelf… So awesomely useful for tools and ingredients while conjuring up your culinary masterpiece.
Moving down: powerful cooktop burners, with the “ABC” (Automatic Burner Control) for the front right burner: Set the time, turn the burner on, and the burner goes out in the specified number of minutes. Generous-sized griddle.
The oven and left side broiler both have auto-lighting standing pilot safety systems. Speaking of broilers, do you love perfectly broiled meat or crispy roasted vegetables? This O/M’s powerful broiler, with fun to use “Grillevator” height adjusting mechanism, will make you swoon.
Really great condition. Fun to use. Unique, beautiful looks. Fantastic cooking ability. It will last another lifetime. Nothing on this crazy planet can match all that. So why are you NOT buying this incredible stove??
