Recognize Vintage GE Stove Characteristics

• 1). Look at the control panel of the stove. Vintage GE stoves will not have digital clocks or temperature controls. Everything should be a spin dial or push-button.
  
  
• 2). Evaluate the finish of the stove. Vintage GE stoves came in various shades of white, pink, blue, copper, green and yellow. Some vintage stoves even came in stainless steel. However, the stove will be all one color. GE stoves with white bodies and a black oven door are modern stoves.
  
  
• 3). Find the General Electric nameplates. The control panel should say General Electric. A vintage stove will not have the GE abbreviation on the stove.
  
  
• 4). Measure the stove. Vintage General Electric stoves came in widths of 30 and 40 inches.
  
  
• 5). Locate the model and serial numbers. The bottom drawer of the stove should have a label listing the model name and serial number. Enter the model name into an Internet search engine to verify the years the particular model was made.
