1919 American Four Square

After a couple of years, it was time for the new old stove to come upstairs and earn it’s keep.

Dennis called his buddy Rob (who has helped us move the old Tappan upstairs, helped hang the upper butler’s pantry cupboards and more) and up the Grand came and back down the Tappan went. Of course, it was the hottest, stickiest day we’ve had in a while. Just perfect for moving big heavy appliances.

I still haven’t found replacement handles for it yet. But the replacements function well and aren’t too flashy.

I thought I’d miss the Tappan being up here, but really, this is so much nicer. It fits the fridge better and even though there’s only a few inches clearance, it seems to open up the room.

It still needs some sprucing up, but it’s in great shape for a 70+ year old appliance.

The Grand stove manufactured in Cleveland, Ohio next to the G.E. monitor top.

If anyone knows where I can find vintage or reproduction Bakelite handles, please let me know.

I need to find two of these ivory Bakelite handles.
