This is a replica of the Schwan's Home Service ice cream plant in Marshall, Minnesota. Schwan's started in 1952 in Marshall and is still going today. The piece is 11" long x 5 1/2" wide and comes with a wooden plaque for it to sit on. The plaque has "Holiday Contest 2000" engraved on a small metal plate (although, it does not show up in the photos). It's in excellent shape. No returns please.
