Betty, how well I remember. As far back as I can remember anything. All the many times that we cranked that wooden ice cream freezer or went where it was being cranked. We kids all wanted the paddles. Ice cream seemed best there. We took our turns to sit on the towel covered freezer as it was being cranked & getting hard to turn. ~~
I wanted my children to grow up with that memorie. I saved green stamps till I had enough to get one.
My first born brought her man friend from N.J to Tex. & we had a huge picnic at a park. Topped it off with Old fashion crank icecream. You could tell he was enjoying himself more than anyone. When he returned to N.J he wrote me the nicest letter about Texas hospitality & how he will never forget the making of that ice cream & how delicious it was. I still have that letter & will always remember that special time. ~~~~~

My Grandparents had these. You had to layer ice chips and rock salt and then crank, crank, crank. The grandsons had to take turns cranking.
The ice cream was made from real cream skimmed from the cow's milk, sugar, vanilla and a couple of beaten egg yolks. It was wonderful. We never worried about salmonella or e-coli back then. And the kids even stuck their hands into the barrel around the churn and ate the salty ice.

I do! That thought just made my taste buds water. I'm not an "ice cream lover", but that stuff was the best ever! When I think about that ice cream, it takes me back to my younger years, and I remember hot Georgia days out by the pool.

It;s been an age, since I've seen one. But to answer your question, yes I do. It was good ice cream, but time marches on. At least now you don't have to turn the old crank. And that suits me just fine.
good luck.

Yes. In fact, I still have my "Grannies." I break it out once a year in the summer for the kids and tell old stories of the entire family gathered 'round. The kids love it and I gain a sense of nostalgia for our history.
