From the early 1800s into the 1950s, saws like this one were used to “harvest” ice off of frozen lakes, rivers, and streams so it could be stacked in icehouses and used as needed until the next year’s harvest. It was often delivered to homes by the “iceman” who deposited blocks into “iceboxes.”Location
