In addition to today being NATIONAL CANDY DAY--you can read more about that here---it's also NATIONAL EASY BAKE OVEN DAY! You can read more about that here.
And so......a fun post..........Trigger Alert: If you get the vapors from traditional gender-based toys, go no further. Your comments will be deleted on sight. For everyone else, click on the photos and links.
And now.............Long before there was a Kenner Easy Bake Oven....there was...THE GREATEST TOY OF THE YEAR...
THE WESTERN ELECTRIC JUNIOR RANGE! And yes, it really did work!!!!! These days the legal liability would be off the charts! CHECK OUT this ad from the December 10, 1916 edition of the New York Tribune. These occasionally can be found on EBAY. In varying condition, the price can range from $125 to $200.00.... Click on the photos and links.
From the 1966 Western Auto Christmas Catalog, 1966...
A LITTLE GIRL'S PRETEND KITCHEN, featuring the Easy Bake
Oven and so much more. 
And finally, we just love love love this toy stove used as eclectic decor at our own Junction JT's Food Market. Pan-Asian cuisine, specialty cheesecakes, gluten-free and Keto options.
Manufactured by Empire Metal Ware Corp and from the 1930's. (14 by 16.5 by 6 inches)--these can occasionally be found on EBAY.
Sale prices vary---between thirty-five and a hundred dollars depending on condition, accessories, etc.... (and bidding wars too!).
