    I recently got my ice box from my grandmother. It was actually her parents. I'm trying to find out what year it was made. The badge reads Wisconsin Peerless Eau Claire Wisconsin USA. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

      Very Fancy, high end model.
      I found one similar dated to 1908-1914.

      WOW! Definitely top of the line! They were made of good grained wood but I've never seen one this ornate. Still has the drain sys. & drip pan?

      You're welcome.
      This has some details that are similar to yours.

      Thanks Blunderbuss2! Yes it does still have all correct internal system. It sat in my grandparents barn for many, many years. After it fell down I remembered seeing it in there so I went through a hole in the back and found it there with rubble all around it but it wasn't touched! I also got out a 1930 Philco radio!

      Thanks again Walksoftly! That one does have a lot of the scroll work like mine plus the hardware looks the same.

      I certainly don't worry about mine getting stolen. To move it, I have to remove the top, doors, shelves etc., and that's before 4 people or my hand truck can lift it. I would really like to see the top view.

      Yeah they definitely aren't light. Luckily my brother and I were ably to carry it.
      I have more pictures of it but don't know how to put them on here for you. I'm not very computer literate.

      Hence why my other pictures on here are sideways. LOL
