Reader Question: Can you Help Identify? Vintage Ice Bucket
Hey there! How's it going? How has your week been? I've been super busy but enjoying life this week. I'm stopping in to see if you can help Vintage Indie reader Jennifer about a Ice Bucket she scored.
Jennifer writes;
Hi,
I would like help identifying this ice bucket. The inside is
styrofoam.
On the bottom it says,
Kube Keeper
Kent Plastics
Corporation
Evansville, Indiana
Patent Pending
I can't
find any info on it.
Thank you,
Jennifer

Hi there. I did a bit of a search around.
This link shows a similar colour and the knob appears to be the same.

Thought it may be worth a mention to this person.
Hope it helps.

Hi,
I’m not sure this will help much, but apparently Ball (the canning manufacturer) acquired the company in 1952 and sold it in the 1980’s. I don’t know if someone from their archives might be able to help you out.
