Ices Boxes became available as early as 1803. The quality of your icebox was an indicator of your economic status, from practical and plain to furniture quality with ornate hardware. An ice box was a common appliance in homes before technology allowed electric refrigerators in homes. Ice boxes were usually made from wood, many were admirable pieces of furniture, with hollow walls made from tin or zinc and lined with insulating materials like, sawdust, cork, and straw. A large block of ice was held in the ice box on a tray and cold air circulated down to the lower storage areas cooling
the food.
