Simpson, Hall , Miller ice pitcher

A "Lyman's" patented spout was the 'must-have' accessory for the up and coming Victorian hostess.  It's the simplest of inventions: a simple flange that prevented large chunks of ice and the debris that was embedded in the cut-from-the-frozen-lake ice from entering the spout and being poured into a glass.

The Lyman's spout has rarely been photographed.   Although many of our pitchers boast the Lyman's spout only the Meriden pitchers videos of model #434 & 435 provide an opportunity to see the flange!
