Dominion 2.5 Quart Automatic Corn Popper

This 1960s popcorn maker and utility cooker may have been used, but you can't tell that by looking at it. The polished aluminum is nearly blemish free, spotlessly clean inside and out, and the unit has been tested and works flawlessly.

Being fully automatic means it shuts itself off when the corn is popped. No more scorched kernals. The automatic thermostat also allows this appliance to be used as a utility cooker. This unit measures 8 inches high and 8 inches wide.

It comes with a copy of the original instructions, hints, and cord set.

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.

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 excellent condition, this one comes with instructions, recipes, hints, and detachable cord set.

Ask about the one we have that is in mint condition, suitable for a special gift.

The Popex 2.5 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 2.5 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 comes complete with cord set, a facsimile of the original factory instructions and our directions for successful popping.
