Russian Style: 1942
August 1942. "Hartford, Connecticut (vicinity). U.S. residents, formerly Europeans, or of European descent, settled on small farms in central Connecticut. Mrs. Boris Komorosky in her living room. Stove is for heat in winter, Russian style!" Photo by John Collier. View full size.
I like the wallpaper
It would hold up well today. And with Boris Komorosky being a former sea captain, it is not surprising everything looks ship-shape.
Clever title goes here
The K indicates this is a Kosher oven. Or, perhaps, the Komorosky's (ies?) Komoroskys had it monogrammed.
[Glenwood's range models spanned the alphabet. The Model K designation had nothing to do with kosherness. - Dave]
Clever rejoinder goes here, but, alas, I am bereft.
[The Model C would cook only fish on Fridays. The Model N was non-denominational. - Dave]
It's the Glenwood Model Q for Quantum - Is Mrs. Komorosky's cake baked or is it raw? No one can say without opening the oven. There may even be quantum entanglement with Mrs. Schrödinger's mincemeat pie! This is the ne plus ultra in oven technology!
Further affiant saith not.
Mr. Boris Komorosky
