It is an Ice Shredder or Shaver

It is device for shredding or shaving ice. The lid is provided to prevent loss of the shaved ice until it’s ready to be deposited in desired receptacle. The blade on the bottom is adjustable to allow for different size chips

At first I thought it was a portable melting pot; I missed the blade in the picture. We have one on display at the Huntington & Hopkins Hardware Store and Museum in Sacramento.

LOL it's a snow cone maker
I can remember as a very young boy my grandmother having one


Yes you got it. That is it. They pulled across a large block of ice and the small chips filled the cup then they opened the top and placed the shaved ice on a paper cone. then pored on any flavor you liked. Rootbeer, orange or whatever. Thanks for playing.

D'oh!!! It ended too soon :( I was just on the way to finding out that The Enterprise Manufacturing Co. of Philadelphia made all sorts of kitchen paraphernalia and some-one beat me. Still, it was fun researching :thumbup:

Come on Kombiguy, cleary its an Ashtray disposal 'thingy'


Okay -- merely to demonstrate my knowledge (and thus expose my, um, seniority), an "ashtray disposal 'thingy'" is/was called a "silent butler" . . . I think. Of course the implement depicted is no such thingy -- the rounded bottom rules it out as such.
