Travelling back in time with this photo. So, this is how it was done back in the day. Thank you for finding the photo!

Fantastic! Thank you so much!!!

Wow! Thank you! I love your guess about the fin blade. I agree. It would be hard to cut the ice with such a blade.

Thank you! I agree. The blade is not tough enough to go through the ice all the way down. The horse-drawn ice cutters had multiple blades in a single row. The blade that is on this plow could probably mark the ice but not cut it. How do you think they would call such a plow in the 1800s? A sod...

Interesting thought! I appreciate that! Never thought about people that could be standing on the side blade. But then, why blade and not just any platform that would create pressure for the cutting blade in the middle?

Amazing! I never even thought about that. I will research in this direction also!
