Got Lucky

Well, not lucky enough that it was free, but the wife and I decided this would be a good valentine to each of us. It's one of those things that you always wanted and never got yourself.

Do you have any of the Ice Tongs that they used to carry the ice. I picked up several at an auction last fall.

Looks good. Not something you want to move around often.

Mine was free. :cowboy:

I do, Kenny. They came with my marriage. They are pretty large and I'll get a pic for you.

Deepsouth, that's like pristine! Much better than mine.

It's in the house now, in its permanent place.

No Kenny I don't have the tongs but a it shouldn't be hard to find some.

Slick I think this one is either a reproduction or it has been restored. It doesn't have the tray in it either.

I know there are smaller sizes but not sure how large they can be.

I dont have any that large but have then down pretty small. Small enough to maybe lift a 5lb block.

 

[backhoeboogie]

I've got one a little more new tangled than those. Mine has an electric motor. On top of it.

Got a pair hanging in the back room from my grandmas house.
The pie safe sat right next to that old ice box.
Her first refrigerator had the big round compressor on top can't remember the brand.
