Frosty Sno-Cone Machine (1960s)

This is a vintage 'Frosty Sno-Cone Machine' complete with its original, albeit damaged, packaging. The sno-cone machine itself is molded to resemble 'Frosty the Snowman' and appears to be constructed from plastic, likely in an off-white or light gray color. Its facial features, including eyes and mouth, are represented by dark, possibly painted or debossed, circles, while a circular opening on its chest suggests where ice would be fed or shaved ice dispensed. The machine is housed within a cardboard box that features colorful graphics characteristic of the 1960s, depicting children enjoying various ice treats such as sno-cones, sno-balls, and candied sno-pops. Text on the box highlights 'THE NEW SNO CONE NOW! MAKES 3 TASTRY TREATS' and indicates 'PATENT PENDING'. The overall condition of the packaging is poor, showing significant wear, tears, and creasing, particularly around the window where the machine is visible. Despite the box damage, the Frosty snowman machine itself appears relatively intact, although it is noted to be missing a broom accessory that would typically complete the Frosty character. Below the machine in the box, additional components or accessories, likely cups or molds, are visible. The item exhibits signs of age common for a vintage toy, including potential discoloration of the plastic and packaging. The visible craftsmanship appears to be typical for a mass-produced consumer toy or small appliance from the mid-20th century.
