No Pilot
Tue 09.20.05 - The SoCal Gas Co's sticker is wrong. My O'Keefe & Merritt 1930s stove does have 3 pilot lights, 2 for the gas range and 1 for the oven, but they only light when they want to, which is most of the time. And when the don't, I use the clickclick to light the range or oven. I am going to miss this enameled beast, as it beats out any fancy modern Viking or Wolf any day.

I used to wish I could take the stove with me when I moved. My plan was to replace it with a new, cheap stove from Home Depot. I don't think Lou would mind (or even notice), nor would the new tenants, who would probably not appreciate the beauty of this stove. Alas, I never acted on my impulse, and of course the stove doesn't fit with my new house. But it was really more like a leaky old friend than a cooking implement to me...
