Few artifacts capture the spectacle and entrepreneurial spirit of early American amusements as vividly as a Dunbar popcorn wagon. Built at the height of roadside commerce and traveling entertainment, the Model 4 represented one of the firm's most ambitious and visually striking designs-combining ornate craftsmanship with practical, revenue-generating function. Manufactured by Dunbar Company, a leading name in the production of concession wagons during the early 20th century, this Model 4 example was delivered new in June 1930 to Roy Ruttler. By December of that same year, it had passed to brothers F. James and Ferdinand Thompson, marking the beginning of a remarkable chapter in American small-business history.
What the pictures show
- Red and black cab paint looks glossy and even in the museum views — no paint budget from these photos.
- Chrome grille and front bumper look bright head-on — no rechroming obvious.
- Wooden popcorn-wagon body looks solid and colourful from all sides, with varnished wood and intact glass panels.
- Hand-painted 'Thompson's Pop Corn' lettering and red-and-white striped canopies look crisp and complete.
- Popcorn machine is visible through the glass, mounted on a wood base and looking complete — working order can't be judged from photos.
- Red steel wheels with chrome Chevrolet hubcaps and blackwall tires look clean in the close views.
- History display boards propped against the truck in two frames are museum display material, not condition evidence.
- No cab interior photo in the set — the driving cabin can't be judged from what's shown.
- No engine-bay photo in the set — the 235 six's condition can't be judged from what's shown.
- No underside photo in the set — the chassis and floors can't be judged from what's shown.
Money: at $59,900 the cab, chrome and popcorn body look the money as a museum piece in these photos; the cab interior, engine bay and underside are unseen, and whether it drives as a truck must be verified before paying.
