That CMP Aladdin roaster looks like the one my dad's Aunt Hazel had. She may have got hers around that time as she and her first husband had married around 1910. I guess we must have sold it after Uncle Fred passed away, as I don't remember it coming to our house. If not, it's possible my sister has it.

Wear-Ever aluminum roasters are now made by Vollrath, and are rather expensive.

That aluminum roaster is just like the one that my Great Aunt Hannah used to bring the Thanksgiving turkey in to my Dad’s side of the family Thanksgiving every year. She and Uncle Orville didn’t drive and someone would drive to their house and bring them and the turkey to Grandma and Grandpa’s house. I can still see them getting out of the car and either my Dad or my Uncle Joe carrying in that huge roaster with the lovely aroma of the fully roasted turkey drifting all the way into Grandma’s house.

We always had about 25 or more people, and since some people didn’t like turkey,Grandma always baked a ham and Aunt Louise made a roast beef and Aunt Hannah brought the turkey. We didn’t always go to Grandma’s for Thanksgiving, but the years that we did, this was always the drill.

I got my paternal grandmother's roaster from my mom when I began hosting thanksgiving at my house in the early 1990s.  We used the same roaster to roast our turkey yesterday.  My uncle was born in 1918 and my dad in 1921.  It's very possible the roaster dates back to the time of the ad.
