Vintage Thermos Chrome and Black Bakelite Ice Bucket Cooler No. 923

Made by Thermos, and dating from the 1950s, this small two-handled ice cooler bucket, is as striking as it is useful. The chromed design features bakelet handles to the sides and knob to the lid and a plastic inner basket. The seal is good and tight and the interior is nice and clean. Aside from a few minor surface scuffs, the exterior only has one flaw, a minor dent to the lid which is not immediately apparent unless closely examined. A very nice-looking item indeed – perfect for a vintage-inspired cocktail cabinet or bar.

The bucket has a diameter at the base of 10cm (4 in.) and around the rim of 16.5cm (6½ in.), and is approximately 15cm (6 in.) in height.
