Title: Holcomb & Holk Popcorn Machine?
Post by: seeburgg1953 on January 04, 2012, 10:25:17 pm
Hi Everyone, Does anyone know anything about a 1914 Holcomb & Hoke popcorn machine, specifically if it is valuable or desirable? A guy just called me and said he had one for sale. He described it as the Butter Kist countertop model but unfortunately doesn't have pictures. Any help is greatly appreciated!

Pending on teh style, if it 's complete and condition, they can be worth lots of money,, they are very cool looking . lots of glass and woodwork as the main body...

Thanks for the info! This guy only wanted $800 for it so I was thinking its worth a shot. It looks like some of the larger units sell for $6000 - $10,000 and the counter top models sell for $1500 - $3500, but there haven't been many for sale.
