Why You’ll Love It
Handmade by Dee's Delights Miniatures, this wonderful vintage metal kitchen appliance set captures two of the most recognizable American household designs of the late 1920s and early 1930s. The Roper gas range is modeled after the distinctive ranges produced during the 1920s, featuring the classic side-mounted oven. Its graceful cabriole-style legs, elevated body, detailed stovetop grates.
Accompanying the range is the General Electric "Monitor Top" refrigerator. Introduced in 1927, the refrigerator earned its nickname because the cylindrical compressor mounted on top resembled the turret of the Civil War ironclad USS Monitor. Crafted of painted metal.
Perfect for a 1920s bungalow, Depression-era farmhouse, country kitchen, or early twentieth-century scene, this matching appliance set offers both historical accuracy and wonderful display appeal.

A Note About Value
Every miniature we offer has been carefully evaluated for its craftsmanship, rarity, condition, provenance, and collectibility. Many of the artisan pieces we sell are one-of-a-kind works that may never appear on the market again. While original retail prices provide an interesting historical reference, they rarely reflect decades of appreciation, the artist's legacy, or the scarcity of surviving examples.
Our pricing reflects the miniature's place within today's collector market and the years we've spent studying the artists, histories, and values that make these tiny works of art so special.
A Commitment to Research
Every miniature has a story, and uncovering it is one of our greatest passions. We carefully research each piece, but unsigned or illegible works can remain mysteries. If you can identify an artist or provide additional information, we'd be delighted to hear from you and will gladly update the listing to preserve their legacy.
