A kitchen photo for the ABC Group (4/22/2017). An in the kitchen photo for the Vintage Photos Theme Park. This real photo postcard (circa 1900s-1910s) shows two women cooking with pots and pans on a Regal Acorn Range (the "Regal Acorn" name is part of the elaborate design on the front of the stove, though it's difficult to see in the photo). The Regal Acorn was manufactured by Rathbone, Sard, & Co., of Albany, New York, which touted it in a 1907 newspaper advertisement as "A Marvel of Convenience" that had a new "Lift Up Top Plate" that allowed "broiling and toasting to be done so easily, cleanly, and perfectly that it makes all other stoves and ranges seem mere make-shifts by comparison."
