I finally was able to get a pretty decent complete 1 quart White Mountain freezer from an Ebay seller. Got it for a reasonable price. I don't have room to collect tractors so enjoy searching for this brand freezers. I do have another 1 quart of the 1923 series that is missing the crank and have been watching for a crank for a long time. In it's own way it is an interesting hobby and the ice cream is fun to make and eat.

When I was a kid we only had Ice Cream in the winter, because the only ice was on the cattle tank. Got a maker some place.

what time is the ice-cream social get together...lol
I"ve got a nice wooden 6 quart unit that the bottom wire rusted away. I wanted to use it and had no intention of buying a new one.
I took it to the local auto supply store (next to a Dairy Queen)and got lots of laughs when I walked in with it.
I asked the lad behind the counter for the largest hose clamp he had. He asked "to fit what"? I said "the air intake hose on a Mack 6 cylinder. You know...they are all the same". Pure BS on my part.
Well, he came back with one about 6" in diameter and said "this won"t fit, it"s the biggest one we have".
I told him to bring me two of them and I proceded to put them together to make a huge one. The counter boy said he never knew you could do that with hose clamps. (Huh...kids!)
Well, the restoration of this freezer only cost me about $8 and the ice cream still tastes good! Oh, by the way. My name is oleblu,... I am a wuss,... and this is an electric model. LOL

We made ice cream several times over the years at my Aunts. I remember as kids how easy it turned at first; the men had to finish cranking it. I remember the headaches too when we gulped it down too fast.

Like the hand crank type just fine. But, my favorite is the electric one. Just feed ice and salt and stand by.

My Grandad teased us kids to death. When he made ice cream we would ask to turn the crank and he would tell us " I have to get it softened up for you". Then he would grunt and groan and finally when it was done and almost impossible to turn he would say, "OK, it's all soft and creamy now". Of course none of us under 7 year olds could budge it. He had us convinced he was Superman in bib overalls.
But one day Grandma sold him out and after adding all the ingrediants, and the salt and ice, she told me to go ahead and turn it. After two spins I knew we all had been had, bad!

Some years ago we won an electric freezer in a drawing at our yearly electric co-op meeting. Someone borrowed it and it never came home. I think there is a hand crank model in the old house somewhere. (we use the old house for storage). Haven't made any ice cream in several years though.
