Brief History
The National Electrical and Engineering Company Limited introduced the NEECO brand to New Zealand during 1918. The brand initially was used on domestic products such as toasters, jugs and ovens.
This NEECO oven was manufactured in New Zealand and dates to the 1950s. Its control panel, located at the front of the oven, has dedicated temperature dials to separately control the oven and the elements. Advertisements for NEECO ovens promoted the insulated oven box which stored heat, its ability to heat up rapidly and its conveniently located plug.
