Vintage White Gas Range/Stove

This appears to be a vintage gas range or stove, presenting in a compact, freestanding console design, predominantly finished in white enamel. The item features a top cooking surface with three gas burners, each equipped with a cast iron grate and what appear to be individual burner caps with visible red-orange elements, suggesting prior use or a specific burner design. Above the burners, there is a raised back panel with a series of ventilation slots, characteristic of older stove models. The front panel includes three control knobs with a metallic, possibly brass or chrome, finish and a distinctive 'T' shape, indicating controls for the burners. Below the burner controls, there's a smaller compartment door on the left with a vertical handle, and a wider drawer or oven door on the right with a horizontal, chrome, pull handle. A notable feature on the right compartment is a circular emblem that reads 'DOYLE' and another smaller, possibly manufacturer's, mark below it. The overall construction appears robust, suggestive of appliances from the mid-20th century. Visible condition issues include some minor scuffing and discoloration on the white enamel surfaces, consistent with age and use. A flexible metal gas line with threaded fittings is loosely draped across the top, indicating its fuel type and potentially suggesting it has been disconnected or is awaiting installation. The design, particularly the knobs and handles, points to an aesthetic commonly found in stoves from the 1940s to 1960s. The compact size suggests it might have been intended for smaller kitchens or as an auxiliary appliance. The craftsmanship appears sturdy, built for durability rather than modern sleekness.
