Thanks for the comments guys! I love sharing new finds with you all as well as seeing yours. Eric, here is the only before picture I have as we loaded it in Brian's truck. The base with the owl is a stand I already had. Jim told Brian he believed it was in the 1920's era. The model made after mine had the light up Butterkist Globe and it did add a nice touch. Kinda wish mine had it.

Awsome piece to add to your collection. Great story how it was brought back to life. Always great to see an old piece brought back to life.

Seth, That's a really cool piece!

did anyone take a photo of the Peanut warmer cart on wheels at the last Chicago show.. I saw it and for some reason didn't take a photo, and went back and it was gone.
pretty cool peanut warmer on steel wheels.. was in rough shape but could have been cool.. guy was asking like 1800 for it.. so I didn't think on it too long and walked away,, only to go back for the "2nd look" and it was gone. it could have been this model, only not restored nice like this and missing the wooden box.  now after finding this image, I wish I would have bought it.

Sorry John, I saw it but didn't take a pic.

I saw the owner walking it out of the show and it was barely hobbling along. A few of us commented that he shouldn't roll it and put it on a cart instead as it looked like it would break any second and collapse in the parking lot.

That is a cool piece. It does seem that if you do see something unique at the show buy it right away. Otherwise it will be gone when you come back. Happened to me twice at the first Chicago show I went too. I learned my lesson quick. I also learned that it may show up 2 rows away for double the price a little while later. Lol.
