Mid-century Penguin Chrome Ice Bucket with Bakelite Handles c.1960 Books a rugged solid brass centralABOUT Mid century Penguin ice bucket with brown Bakelite handles and lid knob. Mostly used as ice bucket, but the piece was designed to insulate both hot and cold foods. The penguin was the work of inventor Ralph N. Kircher. He patented the design in 1941 but wartime restrictions on aluminum meant the penguin didnt really take off until after the war. Engraved on the underside.
