    410-12.jpg I unfortunately have not had the chance to view these in person yet, so I am not sure on the condition other than what can be seen in the picture. I believe these are 10-quart ice cream containers from the Prince Castle’s company out that was out of the Chicago, Illinois area from around the 1930s to 1950s. Although they’re not pictured, each container has a cover. I purchased them through an auction of a dairy bar/ice cream shop that just closed after 70 years in Wisconsin.

    Does anybody have any thoughts on the rarity, value and/or demand for these? Thanks!

    I think you will do well with these. The Prince Castle square ice cream scoops are going for 200-300 dollars.

    antique metal ice cream bucket, Prince Castles Ice Cream, nostalgia ice cream can
    Ask a question
    CA$202.54

    CA....kinds means Canadian funds to me....as opposed to ..say...US...:)

    Maybe it's a mistake.....but c'mon...when the price is 202.54......it kinda looks like a rate change as opposed to some weird ass price !

    At least that's the way I've learned to see things....
