The rare Ice Gun is modeled after the ray guns of the Buck Roger's comic strips of the 1930s. Activated by a spring-loaded plunger and trigger mechanism, the Ice Gun instantly crushes an ice cube, shooting ice spray through the hole in the bottom. The piece was produced in very limited numbers and only a few examples are known.
