Description

Have not been able to locate the brand "Cold Wave" for this 1902 Ice Box

Here is what I know:

The ice box has a label, Cold Wave. It has solid copper hinges and a solid copper latch with what appears to be a brass handle. The hinges and latch have been mounted with slotted, copper screws. Pictures provided of a hinge and the latch currently removed for restoration.

The latch has a date stamp of Pat Pending 1887, and June 1902

Currently in the process of restoration.

Would like to know more about the brand as well as an approximate valuation both in it's current condition and fully restored. (It is NOT to be refinished but restored from it's neglect over the years)

Category American Furniture

Distinguishing marks Cold Wave Logo Label embedded on top front.

Date Period Dated on the backside of the latch: June 1902
