The Rollhaus Range

This just does not look all that portable to me. "Brick-set" and "portable" do not seem to really go together as concepts. And I can't imagine anyone pushing it in front of the kitchen fire and then back across the room.

And really, when you think about it, do you want to broil and roast the Rollhaus Range in front of the fire? It doesn't look all that tasty, does it?

Coming Attractions in the Museum:

The Brooklyn Hoax - a strange game and and even stranger scam from 1853. Can you figure out what the point of all the looniness was?

DeWolf Hopper and the Brown Betty - on Silent Movie Wednesday, we'll look at the life and career (and dessert issues) of Hedda's husband.
