My guess about the Icyball operation used the same principle as a gas refrigerator like Servel, but rather than gas to fire the burner it used kerosene. Thats why it could be used where there was no gas, propane or electricity.

Found this...
<span class="ILfuVd"><span class="e24Kjd">When the balls are fully charged, the cold ball is placed in the insulated box, as the ammonia evaporates to recombine with the water in the hot ball it removes heat, cooling the inside of the refrigerator for 24+ hours. A hole in the cold ball was for a special ice cube tray.</span></span>

Here’s the operation manual from Louie’s post above. You can use either gas or kerosene to heat the ball.

And you can make your own. I find that rather intriguing.
Irish Cook Electric Advert from about 1980
Just a slightly odd one, featuring lots of early 80s cooking appliances from this part of the world.
In the 1980s, much like in the UK, ESB the main Irish electricity company still had a major electrical retail store network. There was a shared electricity company advertising campaign run in the UK and Ireland using the Shop Electric brand, which included campaigns for Cook Electric, Heat Electric etc etc.
Really of its era!

You're living in 1935!
Also some rather retro stuff from the 1920s and 30s

Oil Burning Fridge
Never heard of that one before and had to look it up. Found an old British film that explains the process. It's from 1939, and I'm surprised to see compressors weren't being used there when the US had them in the '20s.
