1930?s Chambers Model ?A? Gas Stove.

Good working condition. This antique stove features 3 surface burners, a deep well with tri-pot contanier for soups and sauces, a convenient pop up griddle, a storage pantry and large oven, and a bi-fold cooktop cover. This vintage stove needs a good home! It could also make an awesome display in a antique shop or vintage store.

This stove is missing one button, and on the front, the left corner of the cover the enamel is chipped and would need some minor repair. Fully restored, these stoves retail for as much as $6,000.

* RETAINED-HEAT OVEN cooks with the gas turned off!
* THERMOWELL cooks three vegetables at once in only 10 minutes of gas - in retained heat.
* COMPLETE INSULATION of top, front, back, and sides of the CHAMBERS Oven and Thermowell.
* IN-A-TOP BROILER AND GRIDDLE combines smokeless, standing-height broiler with built-in griddle.
* SIZZLING PLATTER designed for use on your table - the CHAMBERS broiling pan.
* SEALTIGHT OVEN DOOR HANDLE holds oven door shut, and holds the heat inside.
* DAISY BURNERS give any flame from simmering to quick, full blue cone. Highly efficient.
* INDIVIDUAL DRIP RINGS easy to clean.
* DISTRIBUTOR GRATES prevent "hot spots" in cooking.
* THUMB-LATCH SAFETY GAS HANDLES prevent small children from turning on gas.

That stove will be a beauty when she's done - the porcelain looks really nice.

I was impressed with the pots shown in [url="http://www.vintagestoves.com/stove/506chambers"]http://www.vintagestoves.com/stove/506chambers[/url]
Has anyone gotten their pots this shiny, and if so, how did you do it? And, what was the "before" condition like?

I think the pots have been chromed or nickle plated on that restored stove. The clips on the pots & the handle are just too shiny. The lifting handle I have is tinned steel & couldn't get that 'pretty' without help.

I don't see how you could get those pieces to look that way without plating.

It is a beautiful job, although it is almost too much shine!

I wonder how the chrome on the grates would hold up once you started using them. Doesn't it darken over time from the heat? Chambers did sell them that way originally as an option, but none of the ones I've seen still have a shiny chrome finish. Mine look they were chromed originally, but they are dark now.

What do you guys think about the chroming around the oven door? Did he replace the cast iron oven frame with something new, or can you chrome cast iron? I wonder how that would effect the door seal.

I think the pots are a bit too much. Gaudy.
