THE PARKINSON GOLD MEDAL GAS COOKER Who wouldn't have wanted this 'friend' in the kitchen in the very early 1900s - if you had the money, that is. It could cook, roast, boil almost anything.
Mike Perry - Oh, she has her own Mrs. Patmore, I'm sure. I remember a kitchen filling beast called an "Aga cooker" - do they still have those in England?
Milady is thrilled! Though she probably is thrilled at the prospect of not carrying coal or wood to the kitchen.
ReplyDeleteLove these old ads, Mike Perry!
Mike Martin Milady looks impressed, though I doubt she actually does the cooking!

Mike Martin Oh yes, the Aga cookers are still about and quite popular in country homes - expensive though.
ReplyDeleteMilady looks like she's about to topple over right into the cooker.
ReplyDeletePerhaps Milady is so impressed with this new invention that she is about to swoon.
ReplyDeleteEither way, it's got something to do with that s-curve corset. Swooning, keeling over: it all makes sense when you consider the corset.
ReplyDeleteCharlotte Issyvoo I Milady is overcome by the magnificence of that fine cooker.
ReplyDeleteMargaret Siemers Or perhaps it's the gentleman in the picture that's got her all in a tiz.
ReplyDeleteWell, he is rather... well, not really. : )
