Will it still make ice cream?
Restoration of a very old White Mountain Freezer hand-cranked ice cream maker.
White Mountain has been making ice cream makers since 1853. This style was patented in 1923 and this particular machine was made sometime in the 20s or 30s. The mechanisms are made of cast steel. The bucket is made of New England White Pine and painted with milk paint.
Here is a link that explains milk paint: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Milk_paint
The 4 quart container and the mixers and lid are all tin-plated. The tin has worn in a few places, which is where the rust was coming from, and the whole thing needs to be re-tinned.
This restoration took about 3 weeks. The ice cream only took about 15 minutes of churning.

Oddly enough, One of the 'Christening' gifts to my Grandmother was a White Mountain freezer in 1900. I remember using it in the 60's before cheap 'store bought' Ice Cream was available. Our home made Peach/Vanilla/Cherry was the best though...My Dad said we kids couldn't have any of the Rum raisin because it had 'Rum' in it. I'm still peeved...

We always made banana ice cream when I was a kid. It was a family affair: Everyone had to take turns cranking. When I was a teenager, I saw a commercial for an electric ice cream maker, but my dad would have none of it when there were three children in the house capable of cranking. Good memories.

@williamtheconqueror4563 2 года назад

Thanks for making this one. When I was a kid my brother and cousins used to get together during the summer for various events and holidays. My uncle had a crank operated ice cream maker and the rule was that everyone had to take a turn or two at turning the handle. He used to say, jokingly, that if you didn’t turn the crank you couldn’t have the ice cream. Learned some life lessons through that process. Also, the crank got harder to turn near the end as I recall. Anyway, thanks for the memories.

@karengill4723 2 года назад

Thanks for posting this! We had one of these when I was young in the 60's. It was old then. Don't know where my parents got it. I have no idea how many tubs of ice cream we made in that thing. Thought it was so cool that the dasher went one way while the tub went the other. We used it up through the 70's but after I moved out don't know what happened to it. Parents died and brother and I could never find it when going through everything. I remember after it sat during the winter and dried up it would leak water from the wooden seams for a bit the first time we used it in the spring then didn't leak the rest of the year. Wow! That was so long ago!

White Mountain is the Cadillac of Ice Cream Makers. Cranked on those bad boys for hours when we were kids. Not 100% sure on your dating of 1920's or 30's. From the design and patina I'd put it more in the 50's to 70's, but that takes nothing away from value or all the hard work to restore it. Excellent job!
