The Iconic MCM "Hostess Friend" Designed by Ralph N. Kircher and patented in 1941 (Des. 127,279), the West Bend Penguin Server is a masterpiece of mid-century industrial design. This specific unit features the early "West Bend Aluminum Co." hallmark, dating it to the post-war era before the company's 1961 name change.
Construction: High-luster chrome-plated steel with a dual-walled insulated interior.
Hardware: Original dark brown Bakelite "flipper" handles and matching lid knob.
Design: Wraparound embossed "waddling penguin" motif.
Function: Engineered to keep ice frozen for hours or serve hot dishes like baked beans and Swedish meatballs at the table.
Dimensions: 8" diameter (10.5" wide at handles); 7.5" height.
Condition: Very good vintage condition. The chrome retains a mirror-like finish with only the minor surface scratches. Bakelite is lustrous with no chips or heat-stress cracks. The interior is clean with no staining or odors noted.
