Icebox

An icebox (also called a cold closet) is a compact non-mechanical refrigerator which was a common early 20th century kitchen appliance before the development of safe powered refrigeration devices. Along with the icebox came the ice industry and the tools that helped to run the industry. There were also a number of different iceboxes that shared the same purpose. These pieces were loaned to Topsfield Fair for a display in the 1998 Fair.
