A place to share articles, stories, photos, and videos from America's halcyon days.

The cars, the clothes, the music, the movies, the art, and the culture: it all belongs here.

Feel free to post items of substance - the Civil Rights Movement was in full swing, the Cold War and Space Race were hot, environmentalism was nascent, and under society's pristine veneer was an undercurrent of new thinking and the unstoppable force of change.

Just a place to share articles, stories, photos, and videos from America's halcyon days.

The cars, the clothes, the music, the movies, the culture: it all belongs here.

Nothing past 1959, please.

Need help identify the brand of these 1950s stove and oven combo, DM for images

Installed when the house was built 1953, my grandfather has no idea what brand it is. If anyone has any ideas as to what brand they are it would be greatly appreciated!
