Members of the Ice Screamers enjoy researching ice cream
history,
and collecting ice cream parlor and soda fountain
memorabilia. The
variety of collectibles is amazing: from scoops to
freezers, glassware
to moulds, ice cream cartons to penny licks, and much
more. In fact,
collectors tell us that any item with an ice cream or soda
fountain -
related theme is collectible!
Since its founding in 1982, The Ice Screamers has grown
to 450+
families in the United States and several countries around
the world.
Our membership includes recognized experts in ice cream
history and its
collectibles, career professionals who supply the
industry's products
and services, current and former owners of vintage ice
cream parlors
and soda fountains, descendants of ice cream business
founders, and
people who just enjoy ice cream!
We publish a quarterly newsletter filled with
interesting
articles about ice cream and soda fountain history,
including vintage
ads and photos of memorabilia. Members
discover new
information about their collectibles in every issue, and
find people
who share common interests. We also sponsor an annual
convention held
in mid-summer.
Our greatest asset is our members, particularly those
who support
our all-volunteer board in promoting interest and sharing
their
knowledge. Our organization expenses are paid for
through member
dues and Ice Screamer merchandise sales.
