This story was amazingly great! I almost cried when you said you couldn't move the Tappan Range back to Kentucky with you. That is just heartbreaking to me. Thank you for this awesome story. Hope you're having a great day!🥰❤️
I had a stove similar to your stove. I bought it in 1964 from sears store. Mine had two ovens up above and three burners one had a brain with timer Temp control. The burners slid under the ovens above& a covers the burners. It had a cabinet under for pots & pans. I’m 83 and enjoyed your story. Thank you for sharing❤😊
I love your stories! It’s just like we’re sitting down having tea together! And I will say it does help when I am lonely for someone who is interested in talking! I love talking as you do and not everyone does.Thank you for being here amongst all your friends it’s like we’re all family!
I rely on people like you to keep my days a little upbeat, well, a little more than ‘upbeat’. I am what I call a ‘project’ person. As long as I can stay busy creating and working on a new craft project, I am happy. Many people Read, I putter with my hands. As my mother used to say, ‘She’s messin’ and gaumin’. HA! Now, if I could only understand computer terminology, I’d be up and over a cloud!!!
I just love to hear you. My Mama was born in 1931 and she and my Dad passed when I was 32. I wish so many times over the years that I had ask her about herself and her childhood or young motherhood. She had gloves on and the little hairnet when we went out to church or the market. It's fun listening to you. It makes me feel mastalgic.❤
Dear Granny Pat: it may definitely be worth one of two options: either taking a course online or Better yet, if you have a college near by, asking one of the students in technology/engineering Department to ask them come over your house to explain and give you some tips. We Love you and wish you well, and wish Hopefully to see more of your wonderful content.👩⚖️🌞🤗💛💟😊😁
Whoa! My gram had that range! Hers appeared to be built in. Everything in her kitchen matched….including her rotary telephone. She passed on my birthday in 2000, she was 83. But when she passed, we were all gathering her things to sell her home. Come to find out, she RENTED that telephone!when the bell telephone man came, he said we could keep it…imagine, a rotary phone in 2000! Powder blue, just like everything else. Boy do I miss her house with all us grandkids. Thank you Granny Pat, you made me think of fond memories in a world that grows uglier daily.
Good evening from Tennessee. I’m a new subscriber and I’m thoroughly enjoying you channel. When I was a teenager and me and my parents lived in Illinois we had a Tappan range much like you described and the doors open out also with slide in burners. We had a small kitchen and my Mother just loved that stove because the burners could be hidden and give more space when not in use. I’m 73 now and still remember cooking on that stovetop. Wonderful memories. Thanks for sharing Doyle
Hello Miss Pat. Elvis Presley also had the same one you had. It is still at Graceland. Every time I watch Elvis stories and see that Tappan range I would have memories of my grandma she also had one. Thank you for more memories. I wish I could find one today.
Someone Find Granny Pat's Stove Please. ❤ I really enjoyed your story about your beloved stove. What a beautiful range and so useful. I hope someone finds your stove. The Bob Villa part was so funny.
Love the video , I had a built in Tappin double oven & range once & I loved ❤ it but I lost it when I lost my home in a big flood ! Today is the first time I seen you on RUclips & I enjoy watching you & now that I seen you I will keep watching for your videos ! ❤ You & take care & May God Bless you 🙏 Bye for now & keep up the good work !
Tappan really knew how to make appliances; they all did. You had one stove growing up, and it was used on the daily. People dont cook like they used to and they still don't last half of what they did. Those stoves were a genius masterpiece especially for that time. Love to hear all your stories. Hope you get to see the Northern Lights.
Miss Granny Pat, so sorry you missed the northern lights but maybe you will get to take a little trip to Alaska. I just loved the story of your beautiful Tappan stove, I know it was well loved. Love you sweetheart and I would so love to meet you someday. You truly know how to tell a story. I could just listen to you all day long. Please keep bringing your wonderful stories to us Granny Pat, hugs and kisses 💕🌸
I *LOVED* your story about your old Tappan range. How I wish you had been able to keep it. I hope you were blessed to see the Northern Lights that night. I've never seen them either and I'm 80. I did go back to watch the preview which showcased the range. In fact, I paused the video and practically memorized the images. How wonderful! I didn't realize the burners ran across the width of the stove top and could be hidden. Wow! How unique!
Ohhh, that stove, my mother had a bronze colored one with two ovens up top, the cooktop was 4 burner gas and had a cover like piano cover that was atop and pulled out the stovetop to do the cooking then push it back toward the wall and pull cover over it, skillets and pots stored underneath, and it was just fabulous
Oh my goodness I saw them restore one of those on a program one time. You won't believe how much they paid to get it restored. $10,000 I almost fell over. Who would pay that much because it no longer was the same all new everything in it. Some things were taken off and not put back. They ruined it in my opinion. I loved those stoves but by the time I got married they were not found anywhere. Great story loved it. Hope you see those lights. 🌹
Just found your channel this weekend and I'm already in love with it. It's so nice listening to your stories. I had the best laugh when the sports car zoomed by and sounded wild and You said What was that.....I watched that part over and over and cracked up at your reaction...that was priceless. Thank You Miss Pat for sharing such warm,fun and interesting chit chat.
I was at a garage sale 20 yrs ago and the owners were remodeling their kitchen. They had that Tappan oven and I will Never Forget It! It was eyecatching and I wanted it sooo bad.
Granny Pat, I just happened to run into one of your videos by accident when it came up randomly on my home column. I got about 5 minutes into your stories and I was hooked! Ice ascribed almost immediately and I have enjoyed your stories and your videos. I think you're just precious. My Grandmother had A tappan stove but it was much different than the one you had, but you're right, they were excellent stoves. Keep up the good work granny
I’ve noticed that stove on Bewitched so many times. I always check out her kitchen appliances..I actually have the same Sunbeam mixer that Samamtha has. I bought it from a store last year that was closing down and my father helped replace the electrical cord so I can use it 😊 when I saw it on the show it just made it more special to me
This is beautiful range. My mother would have loved something like this. She was always baking and cooking too. My dad dies at 45 and she raised 5 of us and struggled every step of the way, God rest her soul. I love your stories! It's like sitting down with a good friend whose just a bit older than me who remembers the things of my childhood. You remind me of my mother although we are only about 13 years apart. I have a sister your age. I found your channel by accident, I was just browsing youtube and happen to see you and clicked on you. I'm glad I did! I'm from Connecticut.
Your mother sounds like a remarkable woman. No wonder you were so proud of her, I would be too. Like you, I had a fantastic Mother. They don't make them like that anymore do they?
So sad that things are made with LESS quality then in the 50's. I was lucky enough to see a Tappan stove like you had. It really was very impressive. Thank you for taking me back to a wonderful time.
Dear Granny Pat, I love this story! It sure would be a conversation piece to have a range in the living room. Very unique!! I hope you saw the lights! ❤
I'm 62 now but I remember when I first saw my mother in law's Tappan Range. It was in 1985 and she got it in the 60's, when they had that house built where my husband was raised. My impression felt a lot like Bob Villa's, BUT don't be upset, let me explain. That stove was very innovative for its time. Didn't seem like very long - a decade maybe- and they stopped making stoves like that. So anyone born in the 60's and up, wouldn't have known that stove. To us, it would have looked strange. No other stoves have looked like it since. What your story has done for me, is open my eyes to the fact that the 50's to 70's were very innovative years. High quality technological advancements in appliances and many other things were made. My question next is why did it stop? We haven't had any new advancements in stoves and appliances that stand out to most of us, anyway. I'm sure What happened? Just think what kind of stoves we'd have now if technological advancements had continued. Food for thought. I love your videos, Pat. I enjoy listening. Keep it up.
Great hearing another wonderful story Granny Pat. Those Tappan stoves were every girls dream kitchen item. Dream is the magic word. I hope you get to see the Northern lights or they'll see you napping waiting on them. Until next time.
Happy Friday Night Pat ❤ Darling Story About Your Stove !!! I just wish you still had it !!! Hope you got to see the Northern Lights and New Subbie here . Thank you for sharing with us . Big Hugs 👍🏻🥰💕
My aunt Mary Lou has a stove like that and she Loves it. A Frigidaire. She lives in downtown Chandler Arizona in a bungalow built in 1920 and bought the home in 1992. The stove came with the house. She was able to go on line and down load the instructions and copy them. Hers is free standing on a cabinet for the pots and pans. 😊👍
Pat, Loved this story. What an incredible buy. Tappan seemed so innovative, sad that they didn’t survive. Appliances used to be built so well. They’d last a long time. Bob Vila…😂. You are a great storyteller!
Pat you are precious. This is my first time watching. Came across your channel and got sucked in. Lol. Can’t wait to see more. Oh by the way I love bewitched and your stove story was great. I never did like Bob Vila.
So true. We need to start making appliances in the USA rather then buying everything from China. I've seen the Northern Lights since I live in upper Michigan. Your in for a beautiful treat. God Bless.
I moved into my parent’s home after my Dad had passed away. Beautiful home- however the kitchen was from 1956 - including the Tappan built in electric oven. The oven worked up until 2months ago - I think it just needs a heating coil. It’s 67 years old! I would like to see if it can be fixed. They don’t make things like they used to !
My Grandmother raised my sister and me. She had one of these stoves and it was so amazing. She would be 120 years old. I have never forgotten that stove. My Grandfather was in the oil business so I’m sure that is why they could afford 1,000 stove. Their home was beautiful and I’m so thankful they were willing to raise us at 55 years of age after having 5 children of their own. Love your channel!
@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 lol, I forgot about Sunday night. That was my social life too. No, we belonged to a United Pentecostal Church, kinda like Assembly of God. We would have revivals that would last for weeks, going every night and waking up to go to work and school. Life was so much less hectic or I was a lot younger 😂
Thank you so much! I am 77 and grew up in Nebraska and remembering my mom out taking down the clothes. It was after dark and she came in to get me to show me the northern lights. It was the first and only time I ever remember seeing such a wonderful display, my mom knew so much about everything and was the very best mom ever!
I just had the 😊 delight to see you, alongside my mom and father. We were thrilled to 🎶 listen to your story. Looking forward to more. Lots of love. Ps. If I were there, I'd volunteer 🙋♀️ to clean the stove.
I loved your story about your stove. It was a beauty and it would have broken my heart if I had to move and leave it behind. I just discovered your channel tonight and this is the second video I have watched. The first one showed how you make your potato salad. Looking forward to watching more.
I remember seeing the Northern Lights when I was a child in the late 50's or early 60's but have never seen them since. I live on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, born and raised here and will die here. Area most famous for the Assateague ponies and Misty of Chincoteague who was made famous by Marguerite Henry's book "Misty of Chincoteague" and the movie that was made starring Alan Ladd. David
My Grandmother had a Tappan! She loved that thing. She loved the double ovens, but she was so short, she had to step on a stool to see inside. She loved the storage underneath. She was the envy of all of her friends.
Great storytelling. This one made me think about my mom back in 60/70’s baking pies and cooking on a very similar stove that was a coppery Color. Hope the light show was awesome. ❤️
Got my cup of java, and listening to your stove story is nice in the morning. I have been around Tappan stoves and they are unique. Frankly though, I have electric counter top burners and double electric wall ovens, I prefer gas appliances when it comes to cooking. You can regulate the tempratures so much better. Especially when it comes to frying in a slillet. I wonder if they ever made Tappan gas stoves? Interesting subject.
@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 I can only surmise they were electric only. The one drawback I noticed with gas was when my step-daughter lit her hair on fire when trying to light her cigarette with the gas burner. lol With gas, best to have the control knobs out of the reach of children. Why not give us some stories about your best childhood memories?
@@dochubbell They are coming. I have lots of crazy stories from childhood. I want to tell them just right so you can see the humor. I used to wish somebody would adopt me and take me out of that wild bunch of nine. My friend, who was an only child, always wanted to trade places with me! Yep, there were the good times and what we thought were the bad times. Mama was the one who should have wanted to run away from home.
I hope got the see the aurora borealis “northern lights” I grew up with them overhead out hunting and looking up whistling to them as the elders did! They are spectacular.
Lucky!?! You were wise to ask the lady if you could buy it!! I just got a new stove and I love it!! It makes me want to cook even more than I usually do.
Hello Granny Pat..my dear cousin has been watching you and just had to send me and my mother about your channel and how much she enjoys it and she thought we would enjoy it also. So we have been binge watching as much of your shows as we can and we truly LOVE your videos. The stories are fascinating and I love the quaintness and the love of everything and how you tell a story! I'm totally impressed you started your channel and I wish you well on it but either way, just keep doing what you're doing. We love it! God bless you! Oh my dad has started his own nature RUclips channel called NaturalStateDreamscape. It's all about nature, Love you channell!!!
I love this story! And understand why you were happy to cook on that stove. Back in the mid 70s, I fell in love with my Great Grandma's refrigerator. It was old. It had a pull down handle, and the freezer was a big drawer on the bottom. It smelled like vegetables from the garden always did in those big old deep freezers. Back then, everybody called their refrigerator their 'Frigidaire', (whether it was that brand or not!) and I've never forgotten hers.
I remember seeing the pictures of the Tappan ranges from the 50s -60s they're so great looking even today . I get excited over appliances for some reason .I looked it up on Google they're called fabulous 400 looks like you described. I put it cost $1000. in the late 50 and 60s . And a whole bunch of pics from magazines come up.
So nice to meet you Ms.Pat! I live in the Coalfields of VA! Lebanon, VA to be exact! I adored your story of your stove! I too moved into an old house and got to pick from two stoves and I chose this adorable big stove and when I left it had to stay but I had it for a while. You are showing your ifle tower top and i loved the lil spoon from 69 yrs ago. It is precious indeed. we got a lil cedar box in 1983 but I don’t think any store (walmart) gives out anything anymore! Honey, h mom ow beautiful is your jewelry especially the turquoise necklace set. Love your story of the fiesta ware and the flying plate, oh yes mam I too have been in the same situation and No! He threw it he can clean it!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful 35 minutes or so we spent together! Until we meet again! Love from VA, Z.
I enjoyed your story about your Tappen Stove. I remember those. I was very young and I thought they looked unique! I had no idea about the chopping block. I know you had fun with it. Glad you had it a while. Sorry you weren’t able to keep it.
I just love this and been watching your videos ! Your so sweet and down to earth just like family ! God bless you granny pat i was born in 1966 and from minnesota and north dakota !! ❤ thankyou for making these videos!
Pat, once again I loved your story! I remember watching Bewitched and seeing that stove! It was state of the art!! I cannot imagine owning it either. The joy you got from that stove was lovely. It was fun hearing about your experience with it and the sadness when you had to leave it too. Your great Pat; keep up giving us joy❤️🙏carson
Granny Pat, Once again I Love hearing your Stories! You are a Joy to Listen to! I watched you last night got up and started listening to you again this Morning. Thanks for All your Videos! God Bless You! ❤ 😊
I had an okeefe anderit stove with a rotisserie on one side oven on the other side, broiler shelf with light it was beautiful !!!! I wish I still had it now I have Samsung, can’t even change the oven light it won’t come off 😂😂😂I meant Okeefe and Merit
!ove the idea of pushup doors. I am short and leaning g over the drop down door is always so hard fo me or standing sideways does not feel safe. !kve your stories. The introductory pics were a great visual.
Miss Pat I had that same stove at our old house and I didn't want to leave it because I'm such a b witched band and my husband said no it's old it's hard to get parts it's like we're letting it go and I was so pissed but I didn't have to take it out myself
I stumbled across your videos today and love them so much. I recently lost my grandparents and watching your videos reminds me of going to their house to visit them. You are a great story teller and I enjoy listening. Thanks for posting!
Hope you see the northern lights,I love watching your video's.m 72 and never ventured out of Maine to much.iwhen I get a chance I go to yard sales,but never found any of the dishes you have,if I've seen them ,couldn'thopeafford them,you are so lucky to have all your beautiful dishes.hope you have a wonderful day.
My family never owned good china and crystal, couldn’t afford it, too many kids needing school shoes and winter coats! I was a gr’mother when I began collecting, piece by piece! Just one needing shoes now, and I’ve got plenty of them. HA!
I enjoyed watching your channel and interesting stories today!!! I laughed a couple of times! Your plates on your table and were so elegant and the colors of the pumpkins and apples behind you and how beautiful You look and dress...Wow!!!
I find your videos absolutely fascinating and oh so enjoyable. Real life at its best. I love the color of your eye glasses. Keep on tellin' the stories. You are truly a gem. 🌹
Granny Pat, I’m also wondering if you have memories of collecting the different supermarket/gas station trading stamps and exchanging them for China, linens, etc. I’ve heard of this but was too young to have lived it myself. Maybe you could explain how it all worked. I understand they were quite popular for some time.
Yes, I collected Top Value stamps. You received stamps for the amount of groceries you bought. I still have s kitchen step stool bought with trading stamps. I didn’t save too many because I couldn’t afford to buy a lot of groceries. When I had a book of stamps I saved it for buying baby gifts for showers.(lots of babies being born back then). The stamps were pasted in books. There was a Top Value store where you could do your trading. Nice things.
Wow! My Mother cooked on a floor mounted tappan range, but your right the countertop model as very impressive. Do you know know in todays market a tappan range like yours sells for over 1800.00! And that is as is condition. Great story and wealth of knowledge, God Bless❤Wade
@@rtrrecords There really isn’t a story for the cameo ring. My daughter was at an estate auction where she bought a dress box filled with costume jewelry. In the box was the black cameo ring. I was looking through the jewelry and came across the ring. It was a perfect fit. She told me to keep it. I have been wearing it about 25 years.
Hi. I have an opportunity to purchase a Tappan 400. Glad to hear how much you liked yours. My mom and I both have the Frigidaire Flair plus a couple we use for parts. Have a great day.

Do you have pictures? Why did she part with the stove? I would love to have mine back.
This lady is a gem. Love your stories, Granny Pat. I hope you get to see the Northern Lights!

Lucky You! Don’t ever let go of that mixer! I’m still trying to get my hands on my mother’s mixer, 1950s.
Many years ago...late 70s we rented a small older home in Bloomington MN and I cooked on just such a stove! I loved it. Minnesota Miki 😂
I never heard of such a stove until I bought mine ($75). Loved it.
Old Bewitched shows have one on it.
Thank you for sharing your story about your FABULOUS stove! You were very lucky to have that stove because it brought you so much joy 😊!
This is beautiful range. My mother would have loved something like this. She was always baking and cooking too. My dad dies at 45 and she raised 5 of us and struggled every step of the way, God rest her soul. I love your stories!

Lol!!!! 😂Bob Villa comment cracked me up. I wish I could give you your stove back😇Love your stories.
If you find one, buy it. We’ll get it here. I’d build a room around that stove. (If only I was rich!)
Wonderful story🌹 I would love to know the job you had for 19 years.

I remember Samantha’s range. I was always amazed when uncle Aurther popped up inside the oven 😂😂😂
You rock Granny Pat. I belong to the appliance tribe. They truly don't make 'em like they used to.

Didn't seem like very long - a decade maybe- and they stopped making stoves like that. So anyone born in the 60's and up, wouldn't have known that stove. To us, it would have looked strange. No other stoves have looked like it since. What your story has done for me, is open my eyes to the fact that the 50's to 70's were very innovative years. High quality technological advancements in appliances and many other things were made. My question next is why did it stop? We haven't had any new advancements in stoves and appliances that stand out to most of us, anyway. I'm sure What happened? Just think what kind of stoves we'd have now if technological advancements had continued. Food for thought. I love your videos, Pat. I enjoy listening. Keep it up.
Great hearing another wonderful story Granny Pat. Those Tappan stoves were every girls dream kitchen item. Dream is the magic word. I hope you get to see the Northern lights or they'll see you napping waiting on them. Until next time.
Happy Friday Night Pat ❤ Darling Story About Your Stove !!! I just wish you still had it !!! Hope you got to see the Northern Lights and New Subbie here . Thank you for sharing with us . Big Hugs 👍🏻🥰💕
My aunt Mary Lou has a stove like that and she Loves it. A Frigidaire. She lives in downtown Chandler Arizona in a bungalow built in 1920 and bought the home in 1992. The stove came with the house. She was able to go on line and down load the instructions and copy them. Hers is free standing on a cabinet for the pots and pans. 😊👍
Lucky lady. My stove sat on a cabinet with lots of space for pots ‘n pans.
You look beautiful tonight GP!!
I love watching your videos Greetings from Dallas Texas.
Pat, Loved this story. What an incredible buy. Tappan seemed so innovative, sad that they didn’t survive.
Appliances used to be built so well. They’d last a long time.
Bob Vila…😂. You are a great storyteller!
I just replaced a Tappan central air unit that had a placard on it dated 1973. They knew how to build with quality back in the day
Pat you are precious. This is my first time watching. Came across your channel and got sucked in. Lol. Can’t wait to see more. Oh by the way I love bewitched and your stove story was great. I never did like Bob Vila.
Love this Story about your Range! I can Imagine how you Feel! ❤😊
So true. We need to start making appliances in the USA rather then buying everything from China. I've seen the Northern Lights since I live in upper Michigan. Your in for a beautiful treat. God Bless.
Thank you!!! How wonderful to hear such a beautiful story. I wish I could see your Tappen stove ❤
Go back and watch the preview to this video. You will see my stove three times, along with Samantha’s Frigidaire.
Your just a gem ❤
I moved into my parent’s home after my Dad had passed away. Beautiful home- however the kitchen was from 1956 - including the Tappan built in electric oven. The oven worked up until 2months ago - I think it just needs a heating coil. It’s 67 years old! I would like to see if it can be fixed. They don’t make things like they used to !
Go to an old hardware store. They usually have old parts hidden back in a storage room. You never can tell what you might find.
I love you granny Pat!! 💗I will watch every video you feel like giving us!! The more the nerdier!! 🥰👍👍👍👍
My sister had a Tappan range in a rental home. I was so jealous!!! Think I'll start looking for one! Hope you were able to see the Northern Lights!
My Grandmother raised my sister and me. She had one of these stoves and it was so amazing. She would be 120 years old. I have never forgotten that stove. My Grandfather was in the oil business so I’m sure that is why they could afford 1,000 stove. Their home was beautiful and I’m so thankful they were willing to raise us at 55 years of age after having 5 children of their own. Love your channel!
You and your grandmother both were blessed.
@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 Yes we were! She raised us in church and we went every Sunday and Wednesday night.
@@Sassylarita you must have been Baptist - twice on Sunday and Wednesday night too. That was my social life! HA!
@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 lol, I forgot about Sunday night. That was my social life too. No, we belonged to a United Pentecostal Church, kinda like Assembly of God. We would have revivals that would last for weeks, going every night and waking up to go to work and school. Life was so much less hectic or I was a lot younger 😂
Thank you so much! I am 77 and grew up in Nebraska and remembering my mom out taking down the clothes. It was after dark and she came in to get me to show me the northern lights. It was the first and only time I ever remember seeing such a wonderful display, my mom knew so much about everything and was the very best mom ever!
I just had the 😊 delight to see you, alongside my mom and father. We were thrilled to 🎶 listen to your story. Looking forward to more. Lots of love. Ps. If I were there, I'd volunteer 🙋♀️ to clean the stove.
I loved your story about your stove. It was a beauty and it would have broken my heart if I had to move and leave it behind. I just discovered your channel tonight and this is the second video I have watched. The first one showed how you make your potato salad. Looking forward to watching more.
Love the story. Love and Blessings To You.
I remember seeing the Northern Lights when I was a child in the late 50's or early 60's but have never seen them since. I live on the Eastern Shore of Virginia, born and raised here and will die here. Area most famous for the Assateague ponies and Misty of Chincoteague who was made famous by Marguerite Henry's book "Misty of Chincoteague" and the movie that was made starring Alan Ladd. David
I have been to VA a few times, both summer and snowy winter. My parents grew up in SW VA/TN. Oh, how I remember Alan Ladd, “Shane, Shane.”
My brother & sister in law had that stove and my aunt had one too. I have cooked on it and I loved it!!!😊
My Grandmother had a Tappan! She loved that thing. She loved the double ovens, but she was so short, she had to step on a stool to see inside. She loved the storage underneath. She was the envy of all of her friends.
Granny Pat, I loved ❤❤❤ your Tappan range video. I always adored those old stoves.
Great storytelling. This one made me think about my mom back in 60/70’s baking pies and cooking on a very similar stove that was a coppery Color. Hope the light show was awesome. ❤️
I missed the show. I’m not sure it even made it to KY.
@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900
🙉 did you fall as sleep?
Got my cup of java, and listening to your stove story is nice in the morning. I have been around Tappan stoves and they are unique. Frankly though, I have electric counter top burners and double electric wall ovens, I prefer gas appliances when it comes to cooking. You can regulate the tempratures so much better. Especially when it comes to frying in a slillet. I wonder if they ever made Tappan gas stoves? Interesting subject.
Hmmmm, good question. My condo doesn’t have gas, only electric appliances. My mother cooked with gas.
@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 I can only surmise they were electric only. The one drawback I noticed with gas was when my step-daughter lit her hair on fire when trying to light her cigarette with the gas burner. lol With gas, best to have the control knobs out of the reach of children. Why not give us some stories about your best childhood memories?
@@dochubbell They are coming. I have lots of crazy stories from childhood. I want to tell them just right so you can see the humor. I used to wish somebody would adopt me and take me out of that wild bunch of nine. My friend, who was an only child, always wanted to trade places with me! Yep, there were the good times and what we thought were the bad times. Mama was the one who should have wanted to run away from home.
@@chitchatwithgrannypat7900 LOL looking forward to hearing all about it.
Oh to have that stove again!! What a treasure!! ♥️🙏🏼♥️
There is a microphone that you can clip to your blouse which will improve the quality of your sound it's blue tooth to your camera just a suggestion
Working on that.
fabulous 🌿🌷🪺
Well Granny Pat, you definitely got your $75.00 worth in all the years that you had it.
You bet!
I hope got the see the aurora borealis “northern lights” I grew up with them overhead out hunting and looking up whistling to them as the elders did! They are spectacular.
Lucky!?! You were wise to ask the lady if you could buy it!! I just got a new stove and I love it!! It makes me want to cook even more than I usually do.
P.s. Bob Villa I bet he regrets his decision! Thankfully more and more people are saving these old classics for the kitchen. Love your show!!❤❤❤
Hello Granny Pat..my dear cousin has been watching you and just had to send me and my mother about your channel and how much she enjoys it and she thought we would enjoy it also. So we have been binge watching as much of your shows as we can and we truly LOVE your videos. The stories are fascinating and I love the quaintness and the love of everything and how you tell a story! I'm totally impressed you started your channel and I wish you well on it but either way, just keep doing what you're doing. We love it! God bless you! Oh my dad has started his own nature RUclips channel called NaturalStateDreamscape. It's all about nature, Love you channell!!!
Your stories very interesting.
I absolutely love you and your RUclips channel. Thank you for sharing
Yep, they don’t make them like they used to. They don’t even last two years now.
I stumbled upon your channel and have been enjoying your stories and your collections. I've been binging on your video. Thank you, dear lady.
I love this story! And understand why you were happy to cook on that stove.
Back in the mid 70s, I fell in love with my Great Grandma's refrigerator. It was old. It had a pull down handle, and the freezer was a big drawer on the bottom. It smelled like vegetables from the garden always did in those big old deep freezers. Back then, everybody called their refrigerator their 'Frigidaire', (whether it was that brand or not!) and I've never forgotten hers.
I remember seeing the pictures of the Tappan ranges from the 50s -60s they're so great looking even today . I get excited over appliances for some reason .I looked it up on Google they're called fabulous 400 looks like you described. I put it cost $1000. in the late 50 and 60s . And a whole bunch of pics from magazines come up.
So nice to meet you Ms.Pat! I live in the Coalfields of VA! Lebanon, VA to be exact! I adored your story of your stove! I too moved into an old house and got to pick from two stoves and I chose this adorable big stove and when I left it had to stay but I had it for a while. You are showing your ifle tower top and i loved the lil spoon from 69 yrs ago. It is precious indeed. we got a lil cedar box in 1983 but I don’t think any store (walmart) gives out anything anymore! Honey, h mom ow beautiful is your jewelry especially the turquoise necklace set. Love your story of the fiesta ware and the flying plate, oh yes mam I too have been in the same situation and No! He threw it he can clean it!!! Thank you so much for the wonderful 35 minutes or so we spent together! Until we meet again! Love from VA, Z.
I enjoyed your story about your Tappen Stove. I remember those. I was very young and I thought they looked unique! I had no idea about the chopping block. I know you had fun with it. Glad you had it a while. Sorry you weren’t able to keep it.
I just love this and been watching your videos ! Your so sweet and down to earth just like family ! God bless you granny pat i was born in 1966 and from minnesota and north dakota !! ❤ thankyou for making these videos!
Pat, once again I loved your story! I remember watching Bewitched and seeing that stove! It was state of the art!! I cannot imagine owning it either. The joy you got from that stove was lovely. It was fun hearing about your experience with it and the sadness when you had to leave it too. Your great Pat; keep up giving us joy❤️🙏carson
Granny Pat, Once again I Love hearing your Stories! You are a Joy to Listen to! I watched you last night got up and started listening to you again this Morning. Thanks for All your Videos! God Bless You! ❤ 😊

What a delightful story, you remind me of my Nana, you are special.
I’m sorry you had to give up your stove. I do remember the name though. Enjoy the northern lights tonight xo
!ove the idea of pushup doors. I am short and leaning g over the drop down door is always so hard fo me or standing sideways does not feel safe. !kve your stories. The introductory pics were a great visual.
Miss Pat I had that same stove at our old house and I didn't want to leave it because I'm such a b witched band and my husband said no it's old it's hard to get parts it's like we're letting it go and I was so pissed but I didn't have to take it out myself
We get to see northern lights quite often here, but Im also way up in Wisconsin.❤😊
Omg the Tappan range is my favorite! As well as old Sub Zero fridges. I love this channel.
Thank you
Wow Samatha’s Stove… Awesome😂
I stumbled across your videos today and love them so much. I recently lost my grandparents and watching your videos reminds me of going to their house to visit them. You are a great story teller and I enjoy listening. Thanks for posting!
Hope you see the northern lights,I love watching your video's.m 72 and never ventured out of Maine to much.iwhen I get a chance I go to yard sales,but never found any of the dishes you have,if I've seen them ,couldn'thopeafford them,you are so lucky to have all your beautiful dishes.hope you have a wonderful day.
My family never owned good china and crystal, couldn’t afford it, too many kids needing school shoes and winter coats! I was a gr’mother when I began collecting, piece by piece! Just one needing shoes now, and I’ve got plenty of them. HA!
I enjoyed watching your channel and interesting stories today!!! I laughed a couple of times! Your plates on your table and were so elegant and the colors of the pumpkins and apples behind you and how beautiful You look and dress...Wow!!!
I accidentally pushed some button when I was going to proof read...lol
If you need a walker or help with getting one, I would help!
I find your videos absolutely fascinating and oh so enjoyable. Real life at its best. I love the color of your eye glasses. Keep on tellin' the stories. You are truly a gem. 🌹
I love the sound of your voice! Keep reminding my daughter, Jan! Smile!
Never heard of that range, but I'll be watching out for it now. Appliances sure are made like they used to be.
Keep in mind, that was 63 years ago!
What a lovely story that is when they made appliances to last❤
What a waste bewitched didn’t even need that oven LOL
That is wonderful you had that stove all those years!
What was that laughed my butt off you were so funny
Hi Pat. Have enjoyed watching you. 😊I want to know where you get your glasses that match your tops. I like that!
Granny Pat, I’m also wondering if you have memories of collecting the different supermarket/gas station trading stamps and exchanging them for China, linens, etc. I’ve heard of this but was too young to have lived it myself. Maybe you could explain how it all worked. I understand they were quite popular for some time.
Yes, I collected Top Value stamps. You received stamps for the amount of groceries you bought. I still have s kitchen step stool bought with trading stamps. I didn’t save too many because I couldn’t afford to buy a lot of groceries. When I had a book of stamps I saved it for buying baby gifts for showers.(lots of babies being born back then). The stamps were pasted in books. There was a Top Value store where you could do your trading. Nice things.
Wow! My Mother cooked on a floor mounted tappan range, but your right the countertop model as very impressive. Do you know know in todays market a tappan range like yours sells for over 1800.00! And that is as is condition. Great story and wealth of knowledge, God Bless❤Wade
In 1959 the `Tappan sold new for $1000.
Isn’t that strange how people and markets have learned about quality. 😉 love ❤️ you all!
I may still be in the request line about your story of that cameo ring you wear so eloquently! Not pushing. 😊
@@rtrrecords There really isn’t a story for the cameo ring. My daughter was at an estate auction where she bought a dress box filled with costume jewelry. In the box was the black cameo ring. I was looking through the jewelry and came across the ring. It was a perfect fit. She told me to keep it. I have been wearing it about 25 years.
Hi. I have an opportunity to purchase a Tappan 400. Glad to hear how much you liked yours. My mom and I both have the Frigidaire Flair plus a couple we use for parts. Have a great day.
I am so jealous! Let us know how you like your new stove.
