Show us your Propert collectables 

At the sixth vintage caravan. Com Nationals in 2016 there was this immaculate Propert owned by Graeme and Christine.


They couldn't stop with the van, they are on a mission to collect as many of the Propert homewares items they can get hold of.

Most of us know of the egg beater but, have you seen the 'egg beater stand'

There are actually two different designs of Propert stand have you got the other one ?

Some more Propert collectables they have acquired.












Just goes to show, there is more to vintage caravan displays than old caravans     

Tom Propert was a very prolific inventor, he even designed an injector to kill prickly pear.

How about you Show us your Propert homewares collectables

We have just purchased a Propert Van Serial No 9.300. I think that means 1969 build and the 300th Propert van built. It has a 3 piece addition that is secured to the roof with 4 hinges (about 25 cm toward the front of the van from the top of the door) . After the outer shell has been rotated through 90 Degrees (approx) and the rear section is vertical, This add-on is lifted and 2 pieces (one either side, hinge down to form a 60cm extension to provide a cover above and beside the entry door. These pieces are held with sliding bolts when not in use and more sliding bolts when they are in position. This add on may have been done by a pr
There are fittings mounted on this structure to permit the attachment of an annex, which came with the van. We had a Propert back in the 70s but sold it to a person from Canberra. I can't find the serial number of that van. My email is [e-mail]

Please do not confuse the Propert kitchenware with Propert caravans. Whilst the two families are related, the caravans were built by different members. Propert kitchen accessories are still trading today.

It's a funny old world we live in. SGTL son number one is living on a farm at Rupanyup near Horsham. He was doing his dishes & noticed his sink strainer is none other than a Propert strainer! Of course I have offered to swap it for a conventional strainer from the supermarket. I can sense some big dollar offers coming from current Propert owners

Sgtl, obviously son #1 has overdosed on vintage vans due to his parent's involvement in all things vintage.

99.9% of teenagers wouldn't have even noticed the Propert name, so you have passed on your 'genes' well.

(hmm...actually... 99.9% of teenagers wouldn't even be doing the dishes, so you have REALLY passed on your 'genes' well! )
