Yes, it was. It had no electronic ignition as mine does;
it had pilot lights on each burner and one in the oven
as well.

My stove that I bought almost two years ago has the 'glow
bar' to ignite the oven and of course electronic ignition
for the burners. It also has the "Sabbath Mode" which I
haven't spent any time learning about. If I lose power
I can still use the burners to cook with, they would just
be lit with a match but no oven.
