Range Room Tour Vintage Stove Collection 

an era when quality and quantity worked hand in hand probably something we'll never see again thanks to the dominance of plastic components

Love the old ranges. They were more like a piece of furniture than just an appliance. So stylish. Love seeing your wide range of ranges.

The brown unused GE is really something. It is pristine. I always liked their push buttons.

Oh my gosh! I'm in vintage stove heaven! I love my 1940s O'keefe & Merritt stove. No griddle in the middle; I only had a 30 inch opening. But that's okay! Cooks and bakes like a gem! :) Have a great day!

You can tell years of service and military,navel and utility design left it’s mark. The designers have Aviation’s and a submarine reference towards the functionality. It’s honestly so beautiful and I hope repair manuals and parts will be remanufactured as my generation realizes the beauty and dependably of these.

They are all so beautiful ! Nothing nowadays is meant to last ,how sad ! thanks for sharing your beautiful collection . ❤️ your channel.

Having space on the side of the stoves, to keep items warm n in a smallish kitchen was brilliant.

My 92-year-old mom still uses her 1953 40" GE stove, original to her house. I've repaired it several times. My grandmother had the same 40" Hotpoint you have. Your stoves make my 1985 30" GE look newfangled by comparison. I'm using it more now than ever before and it sure was made to last. Thanks for the tour. You also have the early Corning Ware percolator my mom had, with the ceramic rim on top. It was our "tea pitcher" for many years.

I was brought up using a gas stove. When we moved to AZ everything was electric. Took me a while to get used to cooking on the electric stove. Burned a couple of things. I learned quickly electric doesn’t cool off as fast as gas when you lower the temperature vs lowering the flame. Great video. Loved the French door ovens. Take care guys. See you next time.

I just love watching all the vintage stuff. Your love of this Era certainly shows! Peace.....Dave

I wish I could send you a picture of my stove. My home was built around 1948 and the stove is original to the home. I still use it almost every day. It's 40" wide with all 4 burners on one side and a bare top on the other. It has a regular stove on one side and a smaller bread stove on the other. Everyone admires it & I love it! 😁 It's sort of like one I saw in your video, but it has glass in the oven doors.

Oh Thank You for this great video!! I’ve been looking forward to seeing all your stoves! 😍

This was a wonderful tour thank you very much for your time and hard work collecting all these Mike

I loved this collection- spectacular!

Kevin they are soooo stunning I absolutely love them! Especially the French door models!! They are terrific! How I wish I kept my moms Terrace top stove... breaks my heart to think she replaced it and it was scrapped 😢 but luckily I can live vicariously through you because you do have the white version in your home kitchen🥰🥰 Thanks so much for sharing these!! It was such a treat!!! ❤️❤️ Warmly, Jeff xo

Very interesting , thanks. Love seeing more of your building and collection.

Looks like your shop glistens! Love how you treasure your old, interesting kitchenwares.

EXCELLENT, informative video! I just purchased a new GE stove, but it's so nice to escape the reality of the present day and go back to these days when stoves were much more-interesting. Thanks for sharing !

The stoves are just too cool for school. I like the 40 ones with all the separate storage, warming drawers, broilers and such. I think those deep well cookers are so ingenious. Really like the one you got from your friends for birthday. It reminds me of those from the 20's and 30's .

Oh my goodness! I just love the tour of your stoves!

What a fascinating look at many of the stoves and ovens I grew up with and learned to cook on through the years! Thanks so much!

Wonderful video. Love the vintage appliances!

I've been looking forward to a tour of your wonderful stove collection. I'm telling all my vintage stove friends about your new video!

That was incredible! I'm so glad RU-vid suggested me your channel! I could feel the passion and care you put in your collection. It really was an amazing experience. You deserve more views, thank you so much!

Beautiful collection. Such classics!! Thank you.

Oh my gosh, you guys are great!

i really enjoyed watching this wow you got some great working stoves

Wonderful tour, guys! Makes me want to change out my pink 58 GE for a Westinghouse now. Have a happy holiday season and a great new year!

Love learning about the stoves and love the creaking wood floor!

FABULOUS ! Thoroughly enjoyed your presentation!

Hi guys, I really enjoyed the tour of the vintage stoves, Happy Holidays.

I loved watching this. I've learned so much. I still want a Crosley 30 inch Kelvinator. I have a vintage electric stove. The one that has the cast iron sealed plates, which I love. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge!

Hello, I must say this was a most wonderful collection of ELECTRIC STOVES, I also notices many small appliances too. A tour down MEMORY LANE , 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

I loved the tour. Thank you

How interesting, they're beautiful. I cooked on an old model from 50's in my first apartment and I loved that stove.

Hi Kevin and Ralph! I liked this tour of ranges! Brought back so many memories, as always! I found a few from my own childhood home and a few from neighbors' homes. I appreciate your collection a lot, Kevin. I also spied an old meat counter scale like my Aunt Irma used for so many years in the store she ran. There were many pounds of sliced stick bologna weighed on her set of scales. Ah, such good memories. You just can't get good bologna like that anymore, can you! Another great stroll down memory lane with you guys today-thank you so much! Happy Holidays to you both, Kevin and Ralph. Stay safe up there in Michigan! Your friend in Georgia, Sheri :-)

Seeing your collection of vintage ranges, and watching vintage GE range videos on RU-vid, I'm amazed at the many awesome features many of these old stoves had - and how incredibly short-sighted that some were discontinued. If I had the room, I'd install a vintage GE 40" stove with double oven and the deep well cooker.

Wow! That was soo interesting...I loved it! Saying hello from the UK

Love your different Stoves.

This is wonderful. What a nice way for so many of us to connect with the our memories of the past. Time machine totally. I’ve a 40” GE with a double oven new in 1991. You have an incredible collection! Electric is back in style, required in new construction in CA. I had a new gas stove in a home we lived in for 9 years ~ I never thought about Carbon Monoxide risk. Or carbon emission. Thanks for your channel and content!

Thank you for the tour! All of these stoves are fabulous, I would put any one of them in my kitchen if I could!🆒💙

Loved this tour. Gracias🎉

Great episode.

Love your range room, when my husband and I were first married, we had a 40 inch electric stove, just wish I could remember who it was made by. I grew up though with gas ranges, so I never quite got the hang of using the electric range. It was a great looking stove but, it shorted out and when I replaced it, I went back to my gas. Every time I see the stoves with the push buttons, I am reminded of my Dad's Chrysler Newport that had the push button automatic transmission. It was sort of a turquoise blue and I took my driver's license test in it. Fond memories! Thanks Kevin and Ralph!

I sent the following to one of your 'exchange' videos:

This was fascinating! Thank you!

I had a beautiful old stove that had the flat griddle in the middle, and a warming oven, a baking oven, and a broiling oven. I loved it. It was in an old house we rented, and I don't even remember the make of the stove, but I loved cooking on it, and the griddle in the middle which had an enameled cover for when you weren't using it, was the best, most useful item on the stove. It was great for cooking pancakes or even flat grilling steaks.

Thank you so much!. My favorite is still that 40" Westinghouse that you had in the studio kitchen. Also love the white frigidaire with the french oven. i'd love that in my kitchen you do need to add a 1948 GE stratoliner or liberator. my grandmother had one. they have the tele cook pushbuttons that light up blue to red like the westie but with clear pushbuttons. there's one for sale on ebay now for $350. lol thanks again for the great tour

Hello Sir, I just came up on your vintage stoves. Let me just say I love everything you collect and have subscribed to your channel for I am sure I will never tire of you. I was however hoping to see a 1950 Philco stove. I cook on mine every day.

I love that General Electric stove it's built like a tank it's beautiful nice stuff nice collection.

so nice! i saw my grandma's stove (dad's mom) but not my other grandma's (mom's mom) - oh well - i did see both of my mom's stoves from over the years - the very first one you described, though ours was green with a refrigerator to match - so great to see the (NOT FROM) "bewitched" stove - i'm sure that almost everyone who see's it mentions that to you, even though it's different - but i enjoyed this - thanks for posting! :)

Omg where have you been all my life? I love this! New sub.

An excellent range of stoves!

I loved this video! They're all beautiful but if I had to choose I would pick the terrace-top. I have always wanted one of these since seeing one in a house many years ago

Wow!!! 😮 This collection is awesome! So many varieties. It’s clear when they were first produced many people ran out and bought electric ranges like they do any time there’s new technology. 😊

New favorite RU-vid channel. I own a 40 inch Frigidaire super, and just got my mom a 1964 Frigidaire compact 30

That Tappan Fabulous 400 range can also be found in the Graceland Mansion Kitchen in Memphis, TN!

I'm so sorry. It's literally your collection. Was thinking this was a store. I LOVE your collection of vintage kitchen appliances.

All I can say is "WOW"!!! 🤗

Some of the stoves are so much more functional then todays. Things had style back in the old days. I miss the florescent lights on stoves. I like the one with the double opening side by side doors the best. It makes sense not to have to stoop over the door to get to rack. Thanks for the look see.

Oh, you have a light timer collection. I saw one we had growing up and another I use on vacations in my current house. With the stoves, it is difficult to have a favorite but the Norges are near the top. Great collection.

enjoyed this!

Love your awesome channel

Fabulous!! ❤️

The functionality of many of these stoves it just crazy!

I love the creaky floor. Reminds me of when I would go to the hardware store or 5 and 10 with my parents on Saturday.

The sunken well hob makes so much sense. It could be used to slow cook stews,soup etc. It is also very safe for little children....no pulling pots of scalding liquid on curious tots.

Love everything about your channel! Got our DREAM STOVE at a Habitat for Humanity (we live in FL) - We have a very small footprint for our kitchen and most of the time it's only the two of us, so we'd committed to finding a 24 inch stove. Our a 1956 Spacemaker J245 Deluxe (push button, copper oven control knobs and clock plate, full width fluorescent light, 21 inch stove) is in really good condition and we love everything about it. Latest acquisition is an ice crusher we saw on another episode and a Dishmaster faucet. :)

Collection?! 😲 Not store?! This is incredible!!

We've got a 52 hotpoint custom set. Everything still works. Love it

My grandmother had a 1960s Kenmore dual range that had the french door oven on top like the Flair, but the range top was static, with another oven underneath. It was brilliant silver. When my cousin took over the house, she got rid of it (!!!!!!!!!!!!!) and I wish I could find one again. (I also see a lot of things that I use on a daily basis in your collection and it's giving me heavy nostalgia!)

Frigidaire pink Cadillac of stoves, gorgeous.

7:08 That's EXACTLY what i thought would happen when the doors open ! 🤯😎

My friends mom had that stove you mention that had the oven on top and the slide out burner section. Always thought it was very cool as a kid. My last apt had a small avacado green mini stove the same size as that brown drop in stove u show. It was not a drop in thou. The apt. Had the full size matching green fridge. I would love to have a stove with the french doors....I have never seen that feature before. Neat video!

Ooohhhh that Electro Chef is as cute as a button. I'll take two please. 😉👍

These have so many great features, I want to see you use one with the drop in cooker. You do need an advocado green since you have the harvest gold and coppertone colors. Frigidair was the top seller in our area because our local electric utility sold them. you could buy on the credit and just add it to your electric bill each month. My mother had the 1958 Frigidaire that you have now. These were true work horses because housewives (can I use that word?) cooked three meals a day back then. Thanks !

I wish I could find more out about mine. I use it and love it.

As soon as I saw it, I thought of Bewitched, before you got to it. Incredible collection. If you ever get down to PA, look up shop in Adamstown -- antique mall called The Mad Hatter. if it is still there, your studio museum reminds of that shop there with vintage kitchen items.

Howdy and hello, That is quite the collection you have there and I have a small collection of ovens and they are all from the 1920's. I have a 1924 Hotpoint oven and a Hotpoint oven with one burner. The next item I have is a 1925 Everhot oven with one burner on top and the last one I have is a early 1920's Griswold quick bake oven with a window on the front. And that one is in a unrestored condition. Kind of rusty with the original green paint which is lead based paint. The top shelf is adjustable and these ovens I have mentioned are very small and are for anyone living in a apartment or small cabin. And all of them operate on 110 volts My oldest toaster is from 1914 and made by Hotpoint. And I am always looking for new pieces to add to my collection. I will look forward to your next video.

I sold the pot on Ebay from the stove we had when I was a child. I can remember that recessed hole where the pot fit in it. I think it was a Hotpoint? Recently, we bought a fixer upper in Montana and we decided to keep the old stove. The freezer is from the 50's. The stove works great!

The last apartment I lived in before I bought a house had the non self cleaning version of your Frigidaire twins in harvest gold. My friend moved into that apartment after I moved out and lived there for almost 20 years using that stove. He moved out a couple years ago but I'm sure that stove is still there and serving the new tenant.

Kevin! What a fantastic collection. I can't wait to see other areas of the Calvacade collections! I could literally spend days in that space. So, since I'm assuming we will no longer be seeing 'annual stove exchanges at The Cottage' videos anymore, I'd love to suggest you include us when you do the exchange in the studio. I was always interested in seeing you set them up/testing them out, etc. Food for thought :) Hope you and Ralph are well and have a joyous holiday season in spite of this crazy year! Peace, Adam

Kevin i really enjoy your knowledge. Id love to tour your place

I really enjoyed your tour of the ranges. Growing up, we had an O'Keefe n Merritt range. I really loved that stove. It was a gas stove but it was tremendous. I'm from Southern California and that was O'Keefe n Merritt country. Too bad that they got sold off and then no longer built.

I grew up with an electric stove and never liked it. What a very neat collection though. Would love to see a few more vintage gas stoves if you can find them .

Your store is a dream. I wish you were in the house.❤️❤️❤️😀

I like this place, he such a nice guy.

Always wanted the GE all in one with washer dryer combo with the wall fridge. Or at least a Frigidaire Flair. VERY jealous!

Oh my, I want one! Those push button stoves are rather fab and I bet they weigh a tonne.... alas we never got appliances this nice in New Zealand even in the 50s, our stoves were always smaller and less chromey.

I grew up with gas stove (40 inch Kalamazoo), learned how to cook with a wood fired range when I was 20 and still use it 45+ years later.

No maytag dutchoven? Splendid cookers. The model on the green cart, I have. It never fails. We have a 1948 maytag dutch oven with deep fryer/side drawers/timer/broiler. Our midcentury modern 53' ranch kitchen was built around that range.

Thanks for the tour. Hopefully you might next use one of the ranges with the deep well, and do a recipe for soups, or stews...maybe deep frying? Or am I pushing my luck...lol.

Ya gotta love those knobs!

Oh can I come over and just drool over everything. Lol I have a 1940s gas roper, four burner. And I have several old percolators, one is a la belle electric. I have one stove topper that is stamped 1899. Its a little four cupped.

I didn’t know what an electric range was until I moved away from home. We had gas stoves at home. I have used electric stove (range) since 1994.

i like the westinghouse ones the best AND THE BROWN AND THE HARVEST GOLD 60S STOVE and colors they made good stuff you dont see now a days

Thank You!

We recently purchased the Hotpoint Boulder stove

Back when things were built to last!

Was watching a video called It Happened in the Kitchen, Part 2 - ca. 1941 And it shows off this stove. @20:48 I was like. I recognize it!
