Antique Cast Iron Peanut Roaster Fragment Relic "The More You Eat" Slogan 1890s

$18.00

Up for sale is a rare, authentic fragment of a Victorian-era peanut roasting machine. This heavy cast iron ring features the famous slogan: "THE MORE YOU EAT, THE MORE YOU WANT."

Originally registered in 1896, this slogan was the hallmark of early street-corner peanut and popcorn wagons (such as those made by C. Cretors & Co. or Kingery). This specific piece would have circled the heating element or the glass display globe of a roaster.

Features & Details:

• Industrial Typography: Beautiful raised-letter Victorian font.

• Authentic Patina: Original aged iron surface with character-adding wear.

• Relic Condition: This is a fragmentary piece (broken into segments as shown in photos). It is being sold as a historical relic, perfect for industrial decor, "found object" art, or a unique conversation piece. This relic was found in the hills of Southern Arizona maybe somewhere in the 80 mile vicinity of Bisbee, AZ
