Tell us about your collection

I have a ‘44 six burner, double oven/double broiler Roper gas range.

What are your dream machines yet to be found?

I would love a Roper Town & Country range, but I would have to make some serious changes to my kitchen to fit it!

What are your earliest and favorite appliance memories?

My mom never used her dishwasher. It became the storage place for disposable plastic containers. (No sense in buying Tupperware when you get free margarine containers!)

What is the history of appliances you have owned?

My Roper was originally housed at our 1927 Spanish style home. It came with the house when we bought it. When we moved from there to our current 1948 Streamline Moderne home, we brought my baby with us.

Have you ever worked on, repaired and/or restored any major appliances?

I clean the burners in my Roper. That’s it.
