I was browsing around on YouTube and ran across this old fashioned family owned candy co.. Here's how they make their old fashioned ribbon candy with the original antique equipment.

Hercules Candy in upstate NY has been making candy since the early 1900's when his grandfather and great uncle arrived from Greece not being able to speak English. The 2 brothers got a job in Boston at a candy store and learned how to make candy, and they passed the skill down to the subsequent generations.
This is making me hungry for some vintage style candy. I think they use all natural flavorings (unlike the large factory made stuff in the stores with artificial flavors). My grandmother always had a candy dish with this type of candy in it, sitting on the coffee table. Takes me back to my youth.
I love that old marble slab table. In another video it shows a pallet with like 200 pounds of Domino sugar in huge bags.
