Norge Stoves
In the past, Norge stoves were popular appliances with a reputation for quality and performance. Although the company no longer sells and manufactures ovens, antique Norge stoves are enjoying a resurgence among homeowners looking for a way to transform an everyday kitchen into something special. Vintage Norge stoves can come with such features as marbleized porcelain cabinets, four surface burners, hide-a-way cover tops, and utensil storage drawers. Older models also tend to include a separate broiler drawer with a pop-up broiler.
History Of Norge
The Norge line of stoves was famous for superior quality for many years. Eventually, the company was bought out by Maytag, and Norge was changed into a line of appliances under the larger Maytag umbrella. As company buyouts continued to occur, the quality and reputation of Norge dissipated. Maytag became a division of Whirlpool, and as a result the Norge brand name has disappeared from the market. Today, you can purchase vintage Norge stoves from a variety of online stores. It's possible to find refurbished and unrefurbished models, depending on how much money you're willing to spend. Antique Norge ranges can cost thousands of dollars.
