Description: A steel cylinder containing a paddle which has wooden blades on a steel shaft. The whole has a steel lid, to which is attached a turning handle to rotate the paddle. Bolt is missing from paddle's base. ALASKA FREEZER inscribed on top of paddle.This machine was assembled by Walter Briant. He used to lend it for making icecream on Flinders Island showdays in the 1940's. The recipe was one gallon of milk, one pint of cream, one cup of sugar and half a small bottle of vanilla. These were placed in the inner container and it was packed in a larger container holding ice and coarse salt. It took approximately one hour of churning for the mixture to become icecream. It was then packed in five gallon cream cans, these were placed in 20 gallon cream cans and packed around with ice and coarse salt. A shuttle service in a T model Ford was run to Lady Barron for supplies of ice throughout the whole procedure to keep the ice cream frozen. During the 1940's large amounts of icecream were made in this way and sold at various functions to raise money.
