This rare and exemplary machine stands a regal four feet tall. Commercial peanut warming machine is in splendid working condition. Marvelous folk art, hand-painted tin display at the top in warm colors reads: "Fresh Roasted Hot Peanuts." Unusual rattan front, original condition, and absolutely no restoration. It is ready to go, complete with peanuts in glass-fronted display. Standup machines with legs are extremely rare. Currently located in California, it will be shipped from there. The colors worthy of Harry M. Stevens' hot dogs slathered with his in-laws, the Gulden family's mustard. A display worthy of Ebbets Field, Comiskey Park, Wrigley Field or your own stadium of yore.
