The model A most frequently came with a black top like this model here. It was made from 1935 – 38.

This stove can be completely satisfactory with The Basics, but in my opinion is a great candidate for Curb Appeal, due to the chips on the front panel, pantry door base and so on. Repairing them will make this pop in your kitchen that much more. But it’s your stove, so you get to make the call!
