One hundred year old peanut roaster gets my vote as the most interesting item today. The unsalted nuts were delicious. This roaster runs on electricity, and it takes about 25 minutes to roast a lot. The lady from Randy's Candy told me they buy their peanuts in bulk from Virginia

Peas, peas, peas, peas
Eating goober peas
Goodness, how delicious,
Eating goober peas.
