“Olde New Orleans" means extra finely shaved snow!
They call them “Snow Balls” down in the Crescent
City. Ice this fine is called Shave Ice every place else.
Serve it in a Sno-Kone cup and call it either a Snowball
or a Sno-Kone. Serve it in a “Shave Ice” cup illustrated
below and you can sell it for at least $1.00 more. Shown
at left is the improved Gold Medal #1087 “Olde New
Orleans” Block Ice Shaver. This, plus the #1047
shown on page 41, are the two most powerful ice
shavers in the world. Both feature a 3/4 HP motor. In
the #1087, a “V Belt” pulley reduces the motor speed
down to about 350 RPM. The large three-blade shaver
head planes snow off of the larger block and delivers
it from the chute at the lower right-hand corner of the
body, either directly into the cup or into the catch
basin furnished with the machine. The Model #1008
Foot Switch (pg. 46) is a very handy addition. To
operate the #1087, put a 6 to 12 lb. block of clear ice
into the ice block compartment. If you freeze your
own, you’ll get better ice. “Compressed Block ice”
does not work nearly so well. Always tighten the
pressure on the block as you use the pressure plate
that is forced downward as you turn the wheel on the
top of the ice block compartment. The front door has
a “safety switch” to protect you, the operator, until
the cast aluminum door is safely locked in the closed
position! The heavy-duty lever on the left-hand side
allows the operator to ratchet the handle to apply
pressure. The more pressure, the courser the ice –
light pressure provides a finer snow. As the snow is
planed off of the ice block surface, it is ejected
through the chute, either into the cup or into the
receiving pan. The Model #1087 is shipped complete
with the catch basin and the 8 oz. Sno-Kone Dipper–
the right size for producing a #1407 Hawaii’s Finest
Shave Ice Cup full of snow. The procedure is simple –
shave a large pile of “Olde New Orleans” style snow
into the catch basin and dip into the Shave Ice cups.
