This photograph from the 1890s showcases an intriguing ice breaker, a patented invention by Mrs. A.B. Marshall. Unlike modern ice crushers, this device was designed for domestic use, making it a must-have appliance for households during the Victorian era. The ice breaker, with its elegant and compact design, was perfect for breaking large chunks of ice into smaller pieces, ideal for preparing food and drinks at home. The ice breaker's unique feature was its handheld lever, which allowed users to easily and efficiently turn the machine, breaking the ice as they went. Its design was a significant improvement over traditional methods of ice preparation, which involved using hammers and wooden mallets, making the process messy and labor-intensive. Mrs. Marshall's ice breaker was a versatile machine, suitable for various household needs. It was an essential tool for hotels, where guests could enjoy refreshing beverages during their stay. In confectioneries and refreshment rooms, it was used to create ice cream and other frozen desserts. In the kitchen, it was a valuable asset for butlers and pantries, enabling them to prepare ice water and chilled beverages for their employers. The price of this innovative device was a reasonable investment for households, considering the convenience and time it saved in preparing ice. The 1890s were a time of great technological advancements, and Mrs. Marshall's ice breaker was a testament to the ingenuity and resourcefulness of the era. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, showcasing a piece of history that revolutionized the way ice was prepared and used in the home.
