Peanut Wagon, circa 1900 - Valparaiso, Indiana by Steve Shook

Roasted Peanut Wagon - Marshall, #30 S. Locust St.

Valparaiso, Indiana

Date: Circa 1900

Source Type: Photograph

Publisher, Printer, Photographer: Wilfred G. Marshall

Postmark: Not Applicable

Collection: Steven R. Shook

Remark: This horse drawn peanut wagon was operated by G. G. Sherwood of Valparaiso, Indiana. The wagon was manufactured by C. Cretors & Company of Chicago, Illinois, a company established in 1885 and still in existence [circa 2011]. According to the C. Cretors & Company website, the wagon shown here was produced between 1900 and 1910; it was steam powered and could roast 12 pounds of peanuts. The steam was generated by burning white gasoline (naphtha) under a small boiler. The roaster included a small mechanical clown, the Tosty Rosty Man, that acted as a merchandiser for the machine (see lower left of photograph above). The sign posted on the building advertises Wilfred G. Marshall's photograph studio, which was located at 30 South Locust Street in Valparaiso. Wilfred G. Marshall appears in the 1900 Federal Census for Center Township, Porter County, Indiana. He was a student at Valparaiso University, aged 22 years and was born in Illinois in June 1877. G. G. Sherwood appears in the 1910 Federal Census for Center Township, Porter County, Indiana, as George Sherwood, aged 43, occupation of salesman-peanut roaster. George Sherwood was residing at 404 Chicago Street in Valparaiso in 1910.

the following newspaper item appeared in the June 22, 1905, issue of The Chesterton Tribune:

VALPARAISO NEWS NOTES.

Items of Interest Picked up a the County Seat.

Roy Pierce's automobile is said to be responsible for the wrecking of George Sherwood's $500 popcorn and peanut wagon. The accident occurred Friday night. Sherwood was on his way to College Hill, and when he reached Greenwich street he met Pierce. The horse took fright, and ran away, upsetting and dragging the roaster some distance. and breaking the machine beyond repair. We understand Pierce will be called upon to make good the damage, failing in which there will be a lawsuit.

Old Number Three, 0-6-0 Saddle Tank Switcher by Charles G. Haacker

3

Identified as a 1928 Porter 0-6-0 saddle tank engine at the World Museum of Mining in Butte, Montana. It last belonged to Great Western Sugar (the big GW on the cab). This to me is sad. The boiler on this engine is actually sagging! I complain sometimes about old steam engines being "shedded" to the point that you cannot see them, but the alternative—well, this is the alternative, and it's tragic. There is a great deal of wonderfully detailed information on this engine at this link. I am very grateful to have found it.
