Title: Re: Old popcorn machine Post by: Ross on May 09, 2016, 10:22:36 pm I think this might be a Cretor's popcorn machine and peanut roaster from around 1920. The cylinder part on top would be the peanut roaster. The display area under where the popcorn was popped would be where the roasted peanuts are displayed. They came with either an electric motor to agitate (stir) the corn or a steam engine. This one appears to have an electric motor. The ones with the steam engine are more valuable as the steam engine itself is collectible.
