    This is about the size of a chest freezer. It is hardwired in the basement of an old home in Connecticut.

    No idea what it is and can't find any other identifying marks!

      Might be an Ice Cream freezer, Ice Cream use to come in round cardboard containers that fit in those holes ?? that's my guess.

      Looks like a ice cream freezer to me also . Each bin had a different flavor :-)

      Thanks --
      I was thinking ice cream freezer as well. Although it seems like a pretty big piece of equipment to install in your basement just to hold ice cream!

      It's easy enough to look for the compressor if it's a dipping cabinet.

      Question. Is there any candle wax on it or candle making supplies or evidence of such activities? Based on one photo, a dipping cabinet and a multi-station wax melter can appear identical.

      Remember when I was young seeing these in ice cream stores.

      Looks like it's an ice cream freezer. I can see finding that in a store just not in the basement of a residence! Thanks for your comments.
