1948 Dominion Popper Chef Electric Corn Popper

Introduced for the Christmas season of 1948, this popper can not only pop two quarts of fresh popcorn with that heavenly aroma, but can also be used for quick-prepared cereals, heating canned foods, and even a baby bottle warmer.

The popping bowl is separate from the heating base and the bowl can be washed as any other pan, and the base can be just wiped down.

This one is in excellent condition and comes with a facsimile of the original instructions and recipes, and a detachable cord set.

Purchase Information 		The Popper Chef

Ellen in Coventry, Rhode Island bought this popper and wrote to say Can't begin to tell you how much I am enjoying my popcorn popper. This is the real deal - the one my mom had and on which I grew up! Had my granddaughter over last night and we munched away. She absolutely loved it - "better than microwave - even the extra butter kind." Thank you so very much for the nostalgic evening. I am thrilled!

Fresh and Hot popcorn with salt and butter

Bobbie in Norfolk, Virginia bought this popper and wrote to say The popper arrived and my sister-in-law was thrilled. Her old one, that she had since "forever" gave up the ghost months ago. It has been mourned by the entire family - kids, grandkids, etc. She immediately made a batch of popcorn and my brother said the two of them ate all of it! We are a family of popcorn lovers and nothing is better than popcorn made in the old fashioned popcorn poppers. Thank you for taking the time and effort to make them available. My entire family thanks you.

The Popex 4 Quart Popcorn Popper

Zowie! This is the Jayne Mansfield of corn poppers, with very attractive curves. If you are too young to remember Jayne Mansfield, I'll give you a clue -- she posed for Playboy in 1955, and before that she appeared on stage in "Death of a Salesman", and later in scores of films. But, let us get back to the popper.

This three piece model pops 4 quarts of popcorn, the popping vessel is not attached to the heating base, so it can be dunked in a dishpan, very easy to keep clean. It measures approximately 10 inches high, 8.5 inches across widest part of bowl, and 12 inches across the bowl to tip of the handle.

In very good condition, it comes complete with cord set, a facsimile of the original factory instructions and our directions for successful popping.

Dominion/Kenmore Automatic Corn Popper Single Handle Version

From the late 1960s, this popper has 2.5 quart capacity but has never made a batch -- it looks brand new. The polished aluminum is blemish free, spotlessly clean inside and out, and the unit has been tested and works as perfectly.

It is fully automatic which means it shuts itself off automatically when the corn is popped. No more scorched corn.

The heating unit is permanently attached to the popping bowl. It measures 8 inches high and 8 inches wide.

This looks new, never used and comes with a detachable cord set, and operating instructions and tips for making great popcorn.

Knapp-Monarch 2.5 Quart Redi Pop Automatic Corn Popper

This beauty has a spun aluminum base and bowl topped by a clear glass lid with pebble-textured top where it is signed twice with the "KM Corn Popper" in script. Both handles come to a point at a rakish angle. The gold-toned label on the front says "Automatic Redi Pop". It is the last model that Knapp-Monarch made, and they added the 'automatic' feature. It makes two and a half quarts of fresh, hot popcorn.

The neat thing about this popper is that it automatically shuts off the current when it reaches the end of the popping so you don't have to rush to empty it to avoid burning when the popping stops.

In mint condition, this one was never used. It comes with instructions, recipes, hints, and detachable cord set and even original carton.

Space Age Mirro-Matic 4 Quart Corn Popper

Man had landed on the moon the year before this 4 quart Mirro-Matic corn popper was made in Manitowoc, Wisconsin (also the birthplace of the first aluminum Christmas tree in 1967.)

This model has the largest capacity of any corn popper we sell and the unbreakable Lexan lid doubles as a 4 quart serving bowl. Overall, it measures 12 inches across and 8 inches high.

This is an automatic popper which means it shuts itself off at the end of the popping cycle. And, it is completely Teflon free (an important consideration for bird owners) even though the new, non-stick coating had been on the market several years and was becoming more than a novelty.

This one is in like new, blemish free condition, and comes with the original factory wrapped cord, instructions and box.

Cream and Brown with a crank

This circa 1947 popcorn popper is a Mint New never used example of a really fun piece. Pour in a little oil, a little corn, and let the kids take turns cranking away with the stirring handle on top. When the popping stops dump out about three quarts of memorably delicious hand stirred popcorn. It's a lot more fun than the microwave. The cooking pot is removable from the heavy duty heating element for easy cleaning. This popper measures 8 inches in diameter and is 9 inches high and has a permanently attached cord.

We have waited a very long time for a popper of this type to come along in such good condition. There isn't even a storage blemish on this beauty. It comes complete with the original box.
