 JK> My mom had one in her kitchen a very long time ago.. but it was a wall

I still am using one... came with the house when we bought it... ;) 
It's also from the '50s, a GE electric, freestanding, double ovens, 4
burners... white enamel, pushbutton controls for the burners and the
oven functions, with dials for the temperature control for the ovens...

We've had to replace oven elements on ours, but that's all so far...

 JK> That sounds just like what I want hehe :)  I'll have to look at some
 JK> vintage ones as well as the newer ones now. 

Ours is more like double width... one oven is full-size, the other only
half-height, but full width... one of the four burners dropped down to
make a well for doing deep frying, and all four burners are over the
smaller oven... over the full-size oven is a counter space, which I
found convenient for letting bread rise...  :)  And, like Mark's, it has
the two storage drawers under the ovens......  :)
