I rescued a similar device, an Acme ice cream maker, from my
grandfather's workshop. Unfortunately, a few of the pieces got lost at my
parents house somehow. Individually, only the dasher and lid are obviously
from an ice cream maker - the rest of it looks like a bucket, another
bucket with a hole in it, a funny screwdriver, and an unusual bracket.
Some day i need to spend a few more hours digging around for the outer
bucket, bracket, and drive shaft. Damn thing worked pretty well.

Looks like a reasonable design. There are a bunch on ebay, a persistent
person could get one for under $40, but, yeah.
