This is an ice box from the 1800s. It might be as much as 150 years old! It is not electrified. it would have worked by putting a large block of ice in the top compartment that would cool the compartment below it.
This one has all of the original paint, wheels, and hardware, and most of the original parts.
It would be fabulous fixed up and use for storage or display.


Condition:
Alterations: Original Condition Unaltered

On the top compartment, one hinge is broken, and the arm that holds the door up is broken.
It may have had two interior shelves originally, and possibly a pan to place under it and catch the melting ice water. can't be sure.
it shows its age in a beautiful way
