Many of us who grew up in the 60's and 70's will remember seeing the Penguin server brought out as an ice bucket. The handles on the sides are to resembly penguin wings. There are imprints of penguins on the sides of the bucket also.
What I learned about the ice bucket was that it was made by West Bend Aluminum Company in West Bend, Wisconsin.
The original name of the bucket is West Bend Penguin Hot and Cold Server Ice Bucket. The bucket was first created in May of 1941 but was most popular in the 1950's.
These were very popular and if you have one you definitely have a part of history. If you like retro or vintage designs you might find one in an antique store or maybe acquire your mothers.
