Vintage SEB ice cream maker, 2 flavors with retractable retro paddles

AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This SEB 2-flavor ice cream maker with retractable paddles is presented in its original packaging, illustrating a typical design of French small household appliances from the 1970s-1980s. On the visible side of the box, the visual shows a circular ice cream maker with a bright red removable lid. The main body has a satin metallic appearance, adorned with the classic SEB logo (red triangle and black lettering), clearly identifiable on the front of the appliance.

The packaging indicates the inclusion of an "ice cream scoop," visible in the image on the left, with a red handle and a metal spoon, an iconic accessory for serving ice cream or sorbets. The ice cream maker is equipped with a retractable paddle system, specified on the box, designed for the simultaneous preparation of two different flavors. The two-prong electrical plug, visible in the photo, indicates a standard connection for French household appliances of that era.

The box's graphics, with its typography and SEB logo, refer to a characteristic retro aesthetic of the 70s-80s. The visual highlights the dual-flavor functionality, a benefit for homemade ice cream enthusiasts wishing to vary flavors with each use. The mention "with an ice cream scoop" is printed in a black box on a white background, reinforcing the promotional aspect of the vintage packaging.

The overall condition of the box shows visible signs of wear: slightly crushed corners, stains, and a noticeable scratch or tear on the lower central part. Despite these marks of time, the illustration remains clearly legible, and the whole retains its authentic character as a vintage kitchen item.

The main visible inscriptions are: "SORBETIÈRE 2 PARFUMS" (2-FLAVOR ICE CREAM MAKER), "SEB", "À PALES ESCAMOTABLES" (WITH RETRACTABLE PADDLES) and "AVEC UN PORTIONNEUR À GLACE" (WITH AN ICE CREAM SCOOP). No reference number or additional technical details are legible on the displayed side.

Did you know? The SEB brand, founded in France in 1857, established itself as a leader in domestic appliances from the 1950s, popularizing many innovative kitchen appliances, including electric ice cream makers and yogurt makers from the 1970s. Models with retractable paddles allowed for a more homogeneous preparation of ice cream, facilitating demolding and cleaning.
