Description: A product put out by the West Bend Aluminum Company of West Bend, Wisconsin, beginning in the 1940s. The ice bucket is nearly spherical in shape with a perfectly circular cover topped by a knob-like handle. There are wing-like handles on either side are Bakelite. The appliance gets its name from the embossed penguins, eight in number, that march along the sides of the bucket. All in all, it’s a beautiful, perfect piece of mid-20th-century industrial design. Calling it an ice bucket is misleading, because the item was intended to have a dual purpose. Its metal cavity can keep cold things cold or hot things hot. Penguin Hot & Cold Server is made of chromium-plated steel and has a two-quart capacity. The server can keep things hot for 1-2 hours or cold for 5-6 hours owing to an insulated inner container that makes no contact with the outer metal shell. You pay $10 towards shipping and I pay the rest, will probably ship USPS Advantage.
