Never saw one of them before! Don't forget his egg-beater - saw a couple for sale at the Fernvale Markets last Sunday - price wasn't too bad either - $15 each. I got mine for $8, but have seen them as high as $40!!

Hi Kathryn, almost one year ago now I posted a thread about a couple of Propert can openers that I found in the local Op Shop... Propert can openersNobody took me up on the free offer, so I'll repeat the offer to you now. A few months ago, I also collected a set (pair? one?) of those Propert tongs as mentioned above, so I can include them as well. If you would like them, please send me a mailing address via a Personal Message, and I'll get the lot sent up to you. cheers, Al. |

And following on from my post above, here are a couple of other Propert products that you could keep an eye out for... The first one is the Propert Wax Master from 1958...guaranteed to keep the floor of your van sparkling!!    ------------------------------------------------- The second one is the world-famous Propert Swiftwhip egg-beater. This advertisement is from November 1959...  You might need another Propert just to carry all the Propert "props" (  ) around... cheers, Al. |

Check out this link to Propert Homewares' history. Going by the factory location/s it sounds like a different branch of the family went into homeware production. It was Tom Propert (to my knowledge - and I have some of his personal letters) who invented/patented the folding caravan. The logo is also a bit different to the Caravan. www.propert.com.au/company_history.aspxRay |
