Ice Box

Ice Box was the common appliance for providing refrigeration in the home before safe refrigerants made compact mechanical refrigerators feasible.
Icebox

Commonly iceboxes were made of wood, most probably for ease of construction, insulation, and aesthetics: many were handsome pieces of furniture.

Iceboxes had hollow walls that were lined with tin or zinc and packed with various insulating materials such as cork, sawdust, straw or seaweed. A large block of ice was held in a tray or compartment near the top of the box. Cold air circulated down and around storage compartments in the lower section. Some finer models had spigots for draining ice water from a catch pan or holding tank. In cheaper models a drip pan was placed under the box and had to be emptied at least daily. The user had to replenish the melted ice, normally by obtaining new ice from an iceman.
Coolers are as American as apple pie. We use beverage coolers and chest coolers when we’re working and when we’re playing. Coleman has the perfect cooler for any of your on-the-go activities.

Coleman offers Xtreme® Coolers with extra insulation and a lot of innovation. The Xtreme® series of coolers works hard to keep ice cold up to 5 days at 90° F and the Ultimate Xtreme® Coolers keep ice cold up to 6 days at 90° F. Our Steel Belted Coolers® have been a hallmark of The Coleman® Company since 1954 and are both attractive and functional.
