Old Fashioned Popcorn Makers - Then and Now

Old Fashioned Popcorn Makers - Then and Now

While watching a movie with my family a thought came to me. I wondered how it would have felt about 50 years ago to watch a movie and enjoy its accompaniment popcorn. Surely they must have had popcorn back then? I wondered what the antique popcorn machine of that time looked like and how the popcorn tasted. I really started to wonder how the old fashioned popcorn makers differed from what we use today. Knowing how much I enjoy watching movies I questioned whether the tradition behind it was the same? A treat that has extends throughout many cultures has become a main stay movie watchers - popcorn and movies go hand and hand, there must be an interesting history behind this fabulous machine we call the popcorn maker.

I'm going to spare you this small journey of mine, but will tell you that the old-fashioned popcorn maker way of doing things do not differ from what we do today, and are still well alive and kicking. Things do get done the old-fashioned way, and very few people have arguments against it. Imagine an old-fashioned popcorn cart - picture the 1920s - once pushed forward by a street vendor who could sell hot popcorn to the classes above him - those who could afford to watch a movie on a cold and rainy night. There's history there. There's a craft behind it.

The first old-fashioned popcorn machines still for sale on the market are diverse. There are some that still have the 1911 craftsmanship and design, which satisfied my initial curiosity perfectly. It isn't much more than an old roaster - which still performed the task of roasting different things with lard, oil and salt - but the craftsmanship of them are interesting: some of them are make-shift cooking pots while others portray a sense of pride in the simple vending of popcorn.

Since then they have become some what traditional; each advancement into the popcorn machine afforded a step forward, and all these steps became part of history. In 1893, Cretors had acquired the first patent on the first "official" popcorn maker, and, after a trial period by others to apply his product and method, many people paid him for his blue print and everywhere popcorn wagons began to run their course - each with their own little modifications for the areas they were serving.

The old-fashioned popcorn makers don't come cheap, if you're after the history and this antique machinery they used. The ranges are reputed to be anywhere from $300 to $1000, and I suppose it has to do with both functionality and beauty, but also with the historical and sentimental value it offers. I feel confident in saying that traditional popcorn machines will have high investment potential and are well worth the money you will devote to them.
