Here
are seven configurations of the Enterprise No. 33 ice shaves in my
collection. Interesting point - The
top row of shaves have 3624 on the
under side of the lid and 3623 on the
under side of the handle. The other
four shaves do not have the numbers on either part. I wonder, why the difference? Could the shaves without the numbers be -
made after the patent expired, or by another manufacturer? |

This is not an Ice Tool
L - 3-5/8", W - 2", H - 1-1/4", Two blades, one on the bottom surface and one on the rear curved surface. The blades are double edged razor blades. MADE IN USA on the middle on the top of the base between the two blades. The wing nuts allow easy replacement of the blades. I
purchased this tool thinking it might be an ice shave. It has been properly identified by Mr.
Bob Burgess of the UK. Bob
remembers when he was a kid in the UK the tool was used by model aeroplane
makers for shaving balsa wood. He also
thinks they were marketed as part of the HOBBIES kit. He thinks there was also a third blade
location that could be positioned on the right end of the item where to small
hole is located. Bob
also provided links to two manufacturers who still make a similar plane. Samples of the planes are shown below.
