Manual Ice Crusher Brevetti 50's

When electric #ice crushers like the iconic one (which we have in our catalog) from #quickmill didn't exist yet; ice was bought (but only a few people remember this!!) and it was clearly not in cubes but simply in pieces. And so to crush it and reduce it to flakes, here is the manual #crank #ice crusher from the famous #AT patents #original #ancient from the early 50s: you put the piece of ice inside, with one hand you held down the wooden lid and with the other you operated the lever. In the tray below and voila the result. A beautiful #ancient tool that will show off in an #ancientkitchen, in a #breakfastroom, in a #tavern.
