Hot Nut Machine 1940's ???

Congrats. Definitely try roger at crow river.

Regal = thank you on chute, Silver King = try some

Good info on the chute, after looking closer at mine I see the king chute is also more egg shaped and the regal is rectangular.
FYI on a side note, my warmer was boxed without any top, the glass tops were shipped in a different box all together; I'm guessing these were  accessories like the Dixie cup holder that were also available.

Ya, I like the Dixie cup holders on these. I wonder how much metal people ingested back in those days from the pot metal internals on these. Not the best material for food handling, but back in those days they didn't know what we know today.
I like the blinking light idea on this. It surely attracted people to the machine for a purchase. I checked the warmer with a digital temp gun. My gun is used for refrigeration, but has a high temp reading at 80 degrees. The warmer hit that easily within moments.

That is incorrect for this machine.

That one I believe is from the 1930's. I've seen the hob nail top versions described as being from the period.

that looks like a regal
The chutes differ with regal being more flat and not curved
