Gas Stove Identifcation

[Tim]

Hello,

This stove is in an abandon house on my father’s farm. We lived in the house for a few years when I was a small child in the early 80s, before moving in a better house. I was seriously considering fixing the stove up as a project and to eventually put in my cabin. I don’t really need a value as it obviously has very little in its present condition. I know that it was working when we lived in the house, and that it ran on propane, but that was a long time ago.

I only have the one picture currently. The only marking on it, that I could find, is “Pan American” on the oven door. I have spent the better part of a day on google, trying to find information about it with no success. I can’t even find pictures of anything similar on image searches, or, at least, not of that brand.

I am ultimately looking for two things. First, some basic information on the stove, and on Pan American stoves in general. Second, and more importantly if parts for it are still available. I would like to ultimately convert it from propane to natural gas if possible.

Hopefully the experts on here can help.

Thanks in advance for any information anyone may be able to provide.

I think this one is similar, except it’s red:

I think your stove is older, probably from the 1950s.

I can’t find anything about the Pan American Stove company either. I think its from Van Nuys CA and operated in the 1950s and 1960s, but that’s all conjecture.

I highly doubt you could find spare parts for this stove. You could always have a machine shop make parts, but you’d have to reverse engineer the part to be made.

It would probably be easier to find another similar pan american stove and use parts from both stoves to make a complete one.
