Made in the USA, this iconic "Penguin" Hot & Cold Server features a brilliant high-shine chrome-plated body beautifully embossed with a playful ring of marching penguins. The bucket is finished with rich chocolate brown Bakelite side handles and matching lid knob.

An absolute staple of retro cocktail culture, this double-walled insulated server is designed to keep ice cubes frozen for your bar cart or keep hot dishes warm for a potluck buffet.

* Condition: Very Good vintage condition (VGUC). The chrome exterior is exceptionally bright and reflective with light, minor surface scratches and a couple of small, faint dark age spots from gentle use over the decades. The interior lining is clean and stain-free. Bakelite handles and knob are completely secure with no cracks. Please note: Standard with vintage West Bend servers of this era, the internal insulation has dried down over time, creating a harmless loose rolling sound between the sealed double walls when moved. Binding and structure are 100% solid.
