This C. Cretors Co. popcorn and peanut wagon was built in the early 1900s for equine-drawn use and is said to have remained in the same collection for several years. Featuring metal bodywork finished in red with gold-color motifs, the wagon is equipped with a single-cylinder steam engine, a popping machine that has been updated with electric elements, and a Tosty Rosty Man peanut tumbler. Additional features include beveled-glass sashes, chipped-glass signage, a rear door under an overhang, a perforated roof with a trap-door vent, staggered-diameter yellow-painted artillery wheels with solid tires, a front driver’s seat with a cushion trimmed in black upholstery, and a receiver-type tow hitch. This C. Cretors popcorn wagon is now offered on dealer consignment with period-style popping cookware in Taft, California, with a bill of sale.
