No, it was not here. The ladies name was Lynn and I don't remember his name. My stove is different than the one in your picture. Lula Bell has the high back with the spice shelf on each side with a timer in the center and little night light looking lights on each side. Other than that, they look the same. I am not sure what model she is. I think she is a B and the man said he thought she was a 1948 or 1949 model. I think is is a bit older since my Grandmother's had to be older than that. I will have to go see if I can find the model number somewhere on her. Where should I look to find this info?

Oh, Thank you so much for the link to the Serial Number mystery!! I found the little 'tag' inside the burner and had to remove it and clean it to see the 'style no.' which is 15-B-4. It is VERY hard to read as it is stamped into the tin and looks like the top part of the stamp made an empression but the bottom did not. So I really can only make out the top part of the numbers and letter. The Serial number starts with a 7- so I am going to say Lula Bell is a 1947 B. I am going to borrow my son's digital camera and take a picture of the tag and Lula Bell tonight. I need to document the 'before' as I will get started on her this weekend. YIPEE!! I feel like I am really getting somewhere. Thank you all so much for all your help. I can't wait to try the oatmeal recipe and all the rest. Just thinking about all the things I can cook soooo much easier and soooo much better really motivates me to work on her.

Welcome to the clan of the B! You have been assimilated. Resistance is futile.

Great story, and I love the connection to your Grandmother. I really enjoy my B, and always am aware of my mother's story of how her mother admired and hoped to own a Chambers, but never did.

I am sure you will enjoy restoring and using yours.
