Lots of great images... some look pretty goofy, just as today's ads will
look in the not too distant future.

Way deep down in the site, I came across an advertisement for the most
unusual stove that was still in my parents' Miami house when they bought it
in 1979. Looks like it dated from around 1959. My parents remodeled the
kitchen shortly after they bought it, and that stove was gone for good. I've
tried to explain the layout of it to people over the years, but no one
really understood what I was talking about.

A picture is worth a thousand words:

Anyone ever have a stove as unusual as this one?
