Not a Cretors (for a change)

tinkerer:
Here is a cute Kingery popcorn/peanut wagon a friend of mine owns. Thought maybe a different maker might interest others.  The engine is a near copy of the cretors. The corn popper is a dry popper. There was some disagreement as to the best way to pop corn. Cretors patented the popping of corn in a seasoned (flavored) oil (lard back then LOL). Others thought the corn should be popped dry (air popped?) then buttered.

tinkerer:
Some details of the engine. It's a near copy of the Cretors but a few slight detail difference.

tinkerer:
last ones

crueby:
Nice looking engine, thanks for the pictures.

With the amount of popcorn consumed while watching threads around here, seems like we should all make one!

It looks like the crank end of the cross head guide has a 'foot' on it that attaches to a pad on the crank bearing casting. The models I've seen make the cross head guide one piece with the crank end, and so much harder to make...???

Nice engine, and cart!

Pete
