Another Version of White

This set of salt and pepper shakers came with a Tappan Deluxe stove purchased by one of Tappan Talk's readers. She was told that they originally came with the stove.

 Has anyone else seen this white version of Tappan salt and pepper shakers?

Notice that they have little "roman arches" similar to the blue and yellow McKee salt & pepper shakers.





Thanks Katy for the photos!

Tappan Accessories

These pictures were taken out of the 1940's Sales Manual for Tappan Philco stoves. The manual also includes a number of non-Tappan Philco stoves (the mentioned Model 440 isn't a Tappan).

I thought it was fun because it shows the Tappan Chromelite cast iron griddle sold as an extra for the early Tappan stoves. It also shows a similar non-Tappan cast aluminum griddle. In 1940, the list price for both of these griddles was $4.50.

The "Thrifty-Maid" Economy Cooker was sold as an accessory to all of the Philco stoves (Tappan or not). List price for the Thrifty-Maid was $8.50.

White Salt and Pepper Shakers

Here's one more page out of a 1940's Philgas Tappan sales manual. This is double oven, double broiler model 1040 that sold for a whopping $199.50. Note the white salt & pepper shakers on top of the back splash.

(Later - as I look through the Philgas-Tappan sales manual, I've come to realize that this model may not have been made by Tappan even though it's a Philgas stove.  I'm going to leave the picture on the blog....just be aware this may not be a Tappan)

The Griddle

This griddle fits on the burner grates of my Deluxe, but I believe it actually belongs with an earlier 1040's Tappan Model. Based on illustrations I have seen, I believe the Tappan Deluxe griddle fit over only one burner.

Salt & Pepper Shakers

Manufactured by McKee, this style of shakers is called "Roman Arch" named for the arches on the side of the shaker. They were sold as "range set" gifts with the purchase of a Tappan stove.
