A fantastic popcorn wagon made by the C. Cretors & Company, 600 W. Cermak Road, Chicago, IL. Five generations of the same family across more than 130 years, the company is still routinely misidentified as a “maker of popcorn,” when in fact, their business has always been making the machines that make the popcorn. Cretors actually invented the modern professional popcorn popper as we know it - housing their earliest steam-powered models in ornate horse-drawn wagons that became icons in their own right, synonymous with early 20th century street-corner Americana. This example of their Improved No. 2 popcorn wagon dates to 1912, has been restored for use, and will need to be cleaned and tuned before operation. A great example of American popcorn history, and a great add to any collection.
