This is a cool post that has taken an ugly turn. The popper may well antedate Gibbs. The hook hanger system and "crude" face shape seem older than the Gibbs version. Gibbs' first popper has the same color scheme as well. Everybody gets a start somewhere, and perhaps this is where Gibbs got his. It is also natural that a guy who felt he had the original idea might feel bitter that someone else became so successful developing it. Takes nothing away from Gibbs, however, since he obviously moved on to develop many great original designs of his own. Thanks for posting it.
