    "The Money-Maker" Holcomb & Hoke Kist-Butter Antique Popcorn Machine, c. 1920
    This Butter-Kist Popcorn Machine was manufactured in the 1920's, by Holcomb & Hoke. This model is in complete working condition.
    This particular model of the Holcomb & Hoke machines was the smallest of produced. This machine was made to sit on a counter (the smaller models) or in a mahogany finished base like this machine, and was all electric. All of the metal parts are plated with
    nickel
    . This model features two small glass front compartments usually used for displaying peanuts. On top of these glass compartments are tiles that were made of white Vitrolite and opaque pigmented glass that was manufactures sometime between 1920- 1950. Glass jars of candy usually sat on top of these compartments. There is an optional peanut warmer located under the popcorn compartment. The wood is crazing from exposure to extreme shifts in temperature and humidity, but can be fixed by with a French style polish.
    Some of the nickel plating looks to be coming off some of the metal parts and the Vitrolite where the candy jars sit was replaced with ceramic tile. There were two hinges and the corn hopper were also replaced. There is small drawer on the left side designed to hold bags for candy, peanuts, or popcorn and it currently has 4 oz. bags in place. This machine is completely functional and has been used several times to verify this since it's semi-restoration. It measures 68 1/2" high, 30" wide, and 21 1/2" deep. It weighs, empty, approximately 150-175 lbs.
