BLACK RASPBERRY ICE CREAM (Hendler's?) vintage unused store sign 9" x 20" (will ship rolled) (circa 1950's) The Hendler Creamery Company made the famous Hendler Ice Cream. They were one of the most successful ice cream companies in the U.S. Hendler's would eventually be bought by the Borden Company prior to 1932. Information about the Hendler family items can be found at the Jewish Historic Society in Baltimore since they were one of the most successful Jewish owned businesses ever in that area. Generations of Baltimoreans grew up eating Hendler's ice cream, which was sold from 1905 through the late 1960s. Hendler's was billed as "The Velvet Kind"-- was so ubiquitous in its day that many soda-fountain customers probably never knew other brands existed. Hendler's big sales jump occurred in 1912, when he established a state-of-the-art ice cream factory on East Baltimore Street. There the chilly confection flowed forth without ever being touched by human hands (a far cry from Fussell's pre-refrigeration plant, with its manually cranked machines and mountains of ice). Hendler's company dealt mainly in the big three--vanilla, chocolate, and strawberry--but the public also developed a hankering for the exotic. Hendler's ice cream scientists created dozens of curious flavors, including ginger Hutzler's tearoom and a unique tomato sherbet for the Southern Hotel, along with rum-soaked egg-nog ice cream.
