I've seen and owned several other popcorn warmers, but have never seen this one before anywhere so of course had to have it.
Problem was it was in Arizona... But because I've made so many friends on this site and people are great about helping out.. Tom (Collecture) was kind enough to take a drive and pick this up for me, he took the glass out and packaged it, photographed the machine inside and out and strapped it to a pallet and brought it to the shipping company terminal for me!! Now I don't know too many people who go out of their way to help another person like that so Tom, I want to thank you again... The machine arrived on Friday in the same great condition as it left AZ...
I've never seen one before, and yet it's only a warmer, it's just cool, it's small in size, has some cool graphics on the glass, has chromed Coin entry area and crank handle, and chromed chute.. other cool feature is that is is stamped right into the coin bezel. "Buffalo Nickels Only"... I just thought that was cool (anyone got any buffalo nickels they want to sell, contact me)..Machine was made by Bally and I'm guessing dates to the late mid to late 40's? Machine was complete and even had like 500 original bags in plastic inside..
should be a fun one to clean up and restore this summer!
And again, Huge Thanks to Tom for helping me out on this!
