    I found it on craigslist when I was looking for a stove to replace the nasty thing in the house I bought. It is a Prosperity Stove, and it works great. I do need to calibrate the oven-no surprise there as the temp knob was off. I have no idea what year it is.

      You might want to have someone check the nozzles and regulator rather than trying to calibrate anything. Pressures are totally different than when this was made. You might get a bang out of it.

      you have a point there. fhrjr2................,well worth the money to do it right and safely....nice score ........

      Fhrjr2, they are all fine. The knob was missing the set screw. Calibrate was the wrong word. I put thermometers in the oven, turned it on and aligned the knob to the temperature readings.
