vintage gas range

We went to my mom's for Thanksgiving. We started our trip after refilling the electric and water trench. Taking time to try to refill the trench delayed our departure to my mom's and we ended up driving several hours in the winter storm with a night spent in a hotel. We made it to my mom's Thanksgiving morning.

So Friday morning Martin and I (mostly Martin) loaded this lovely Oriole gas range into the back of his truck. It will need to be refurbished. The back and bottom are very rusty. It needs cleaning up and the oven, broiler, and warming oven need to be cleaned up too.

The challenging thing is that the range doesn't seem to have pilot lights and the oven doesn't seem to have a pilot light or thermometer. It will take some practice to learn how to use it well enough to do any baking.
