The photo shows a mobile popcorn machine which was in the motor museum that we visited in York, Western Australia. It seems these are still readily available but this is a very old one although I’m not sure just how old it is.
Edit: The notice at the top says it is clockwork operated and circa. 1850.
I think I t would look cute being pulled by a goat, speaking of which, one of my nephew’s dwarf Nigerian does just had quintuplets. Both mother and five kids are all doing well.

I bet the doe is pleased that the babies are all removed and bottle-fed.

We don't see them here anymore.
Glad all are doing good. That's a lot of babies.

@JudyEv I sorta remember them at the small traveling circus that used to come around. My parents took us as kids

@wolfgirl569 I liked the fairy floss machines. I think you call it cotton candy .

Yucky! If popcorn tasted like it smells, then it would be fine but it never does...

its lovely...can just imagine it being pulled by a goat ....
we have a popcorn machine, but it's small and obviously a lot more modern than that. Not as much fun as that one though !

Interesting that it's clockwork operated. 5 kids? She must have been uncomfortable. Have a good week.

I do not like popcorn
But do like goats
Five baby goats would be really good to have
I have an idea now for a new pet
