Cretors Co Chicago made ) 15' long X 9' tall x 46" wide,  The restoration is started. Superstructure is sound,complete super fancy tin roof perfect orig-- all the sheet meatal panels are original and excellent ( no rot or rust anywhere ) and original--all original beveled glass intact.The window frames have been replaced not too long ago and need some attention and refinishing but very good orig. cond. All nickel plating done to trim pipes ( see photos ),also fancy glue chipped sign frames re-nickel plated ( see photos ), many misc. parts re-nickeled all the peanut roaster castings re-nickeled and misc parts -- the clown and toy are included and also an extra pair of wheels incld  ( like factory new cond. ), with many orig stainless steel & other nickel plated parts and pieces all exc cond --the internal parts of Peanut Roaster are near unused cond. very clean and could be reused easily to roast peanuts--chestnuts--or coffee. All new fancy glue chipped signs are newly done ( see photo--Please note smaller glue chipped still coming, along with 2-very long- correct awning poles shipped late, coming soon )--only need awnings and one tiny glue chipped glass sign over rare side door on roof ( Pearson has 1/2 circle tiny sign ready to ship ). Has rare gum case over peanut roaster too. A very desirable model with so much potential and room inside to sell or do almost anything cool--what's your idea of a food product. This is the most rare unusual Kiosk What this needs is someone willing to oversee--or do the work needed like I DO to finish the restoration ( Bob Pearson in Ks ) has many parts he supplies or recreates whatever you may need--steam engines ( obtainable )-glass signs castings-pieces and parts, whatever you need--I can help with info--a finished orig restoration is not hard to complete, I have done many--note the orig catalog page of this exact rare side door model, except they almost never came with the drivers seat ( Cretors always put a drivers seat on most expensive wagon for the catalog photo )--these wagons came with or with-out the drivers seat ). The roof hatch is new incld the classic elaborate hinges exc. cond. The smoke stack cap is new replaced with the Cretors star ontop--really mostly there--all decent to excelent orig or reworked--needing only quick resoration NOTE-one could reorder from Bob Pearson and ad back the original Blue glass sign's at the top of some windows ( instead now clear glass is instaled ) advertising "Peanuts" and "Buttered Popcorn" and "Pure Food" etc, I would make it orig. and extremely attractive-these cost about $150 ea or less for each sigh about 4-5 needed.--There is much potential for a basic restoration and really not so hard if directed properly--I WILL HELP WITH INFO IF NEEDED I was restoring it and decided to move to the Virgin Islands--due to its size sipping is 6 times more than my popcorn truck or booth, so it isn't prudent to finish my restoration due to the shipping cost alone--to ship it over to St Thomas Things needed are made at a good sheet metal shop--  Needs stainless steel popping tray measured and ordered--( also order Gold Medal 15 oz. popper. good idea )  Possibly use an ice shaver as I do ( I can help with info ) also anything health code, Mine have proved extremely profitable over the years, fun and good cash doing Art Fairs--so much room to do so many things ( like sm 3 bay sink if needed ) many profitable "Fun foods" I use 2 dif antique Cretors machines and sell Hawaiian Shave Ice--Popcorn--Fresh Juice--also espresso and cappuccino etc. --There is also Cotton Candy high profit and Roasted almonds, soft serv ice cream etc--maybe a special item--I know I always get preferential treatment when getting placed at any event due to how fancy these are and a real draw PLZ NOTE WE CAN DELIVER THIS PRACTICALLY ANYWHERE Check out my other items! treatment due to how fancy these are
