ELECTRIC STOVE

H1989.784

Stove door is white enamel, all other surfaces appear to have been black (nickel plated?) surfaces once but have now lost this coating; only the LHS still has this veneer. Door: 'Oreda/ Britains Best/ Electric'. Oven door knob is a replacement of the original handle; it is a standard house door knob. Oven has 2 wire rack shelves, there are 3 control knobs at upper LHS of stove which are green, white and black, reading 'LOW MED HIGH OFF'. There is a wooden board with a switch mounted on it which is attached to the stove by it's electric cord. The board is obviously meant to be attached to a wall surface.
