Cretors Steam Engines
« on: October 24, 2025, 06:47:55 pm »
Ran across these just now.  Not quite model steam, but pretty cool. 

Two Cretors Steam Engines for sale.  From what I can find out, these were used to stir the kettles on 1890's-1900's popcorn machines of street vendors.  Nice looking.  Perhaps someone here would be interested.

Those are wonderful and very collectible engines. There are some members here that have one or two of these, and most of the rest of us wish we did!
