Goodrich' but after seeing this charming ice bucket you will start thinking backyard parties and picnics in the park. Goodrich started producing the N'icer ice bucket in the 1950's as an advertising piece to market their spongex plastic. The soft spongy plastic was advertised as 'an ice cube's best friend' and the clever wicker carrier gives it a special touch that is reminiscent of warm summer days. From an Atlanta estate that was the perfect time capsule of mid-century modern decor.

Good vintage condition with some light signs of age and wear. The basket carrier is in sound condition with no breaks or frays in the wicker. The plastic bucket has some darkened discolorations at the rim and bottom of the bucket but it is clean and ready for use. Please review photograph 7 for a view of the discolorations.

Measures 12" tall with handles down x 11.5" wide x 11.5" deep. The handles measure 22" from end to end providing for a 6.5" drop. Advertising claims that the bucket will hold 1 gallon of ice...I think that might be a stretch but it will certainly hold a fair amount. See less
