One is called a "Heinz soup Kitchen" really caught my eye and have never saw or heard of them before.  From what I can see is that you would stack cans of soup on the display part trying to figure out what he timers do and how the soup gets hot?? looks like from the late 30s to 1940s Huh?

The other is a popcorn warmer?? Table top model?  Never heard of this one before???

Any help would be appreciated!!!

Thanks in advance!!!

When I was a kid (mid 70s), we still had a Woolworth's lunch counter at the local shopping center.  I remember a soup rack like that.  I seem to recall there was a stainless steel coffee mug/beer mug-looking thing that you poured the soup into.  The mug had a plug on it.  Then, the "mug" was attached to the display beside the dial (there's a receptacle there on each side) and that heated up your soup.

Yep, have seen both. The popcorn is a neat machine! They turn up from time to time at Chicago. The soup one is what explained, there is a small cup that you put the soup in and it heated it up. I have also seen them with an opener on them for the cans. It basically heated up the soup for you. It was a display vehicle for cafe's and such.

I have seen both of these and have one of the soup machines.  It works very well just watch out for the cup that you plug in because it gets very hot quickly.

I agree with crackerman_don, the popcorn warmer is very cool and it a nice compact size.

Finally got the Wurlitzer 1400 looking great, and working perfect!!!  Been working on the two wall boxes I have a 4820 and a 4851. The stepper I am using is the 248.
Have them all wire up and now fully working with some very delicate Stepper cleaning and adjusting that had to be done.

Ready for next project?Huh?  Wife want me to start the "Candy Man" candy bar machine next..   Getting backed up!!!
