Antique Electric Toaster - Day 175

This electric toaster is another item Cousin sent me. It belonged to my grandfather's brother, John Roos. Johnny was an electrician. I'm told the toaster still works but no one is willing to give it a try. LOL

Cheney Bakery Scale - Day 173

A while back Cousin was cleaning out her mother's house and uncovered a number of items from the Roos family that she couldn't keep and wondered if I would like them. This is my favorite. It's the scale from the Cheney Bakery that my great grandfather, John Eugene Roos (1858-1931) owned. It still works except for one small issue. During shipping the little arm in the middle jiggled off. I'm tempted to remove the face and reinstall the little arm, but I'm afraid...

Hot Enough to Fry an Egg on the Sidewalk - Day 172

The Breadbox - Day 171

This old breadbox was found buried in the Family Home, full of photos and papers that appear belonged to my great grandfather, John Eugene Roos (1858-1931). I just noticed the name Kieckhefer on the back of the box. Not sure why but there is a nice article about Kieckhefers on Wikipedia.
