Sounds like an AGA [1], they are still a consumer culture signal even if they don't look it to an outsider.

- throwawayjava 8y agoIf so, the parent post couldn't have chosen a more ironic example. AGA cookers are a ridiculous Veblen good, regardless of age. If the AGA is new (within the last decade or two), those people spent tens of thousands of dollars on a freaking oven. That's more than most people would spend on an entire kitchen remodel. If the AGA is not new (from before 1990 or so), it's horrendously energy inefficient. A modern sub-$1,000 oven would pay for itself in energy savings in no time.
