Does look old and almost looks like it would shuck the corn before it popped it.

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.

I'd think it would be worth picking up for under $300 just for the cool factor.. there are guys out there looking for parts and such or possible whole machine..
