    1900s Gem Ice Shave - North Bros Mfg Co.

    Made in Philadelphia
    Circa- 1900 - 1930

    Founded in 1878.

    Stanley Works tool company acquired the North Bros. in 1946.

    Approximately 5-3/4" long 2-1/4" high.

    Think about the 1900s...this would be used to shave ice from big blocks of ice.

    By 1900 the company was a major manufacturer and employer in the city of Philadelphia and produced ice cream freezers, ice shaving and crushing tools, kitchen appliances, various other consumer goods and some hand tools.

    Founded in 1878 the company was originally only a foundry operation solely owned by Selden Gladwin North.[1] In 1880 Selden was joined by his brother Ralph H. North and the company become North Bros. Frank H. North became the third brother to join the company in 1886.[2] By 1887 the company had broadened its operations and was incorporated as the North Bros. Mfg. Co.
