Consolidated Wafer


Recent internet searches turned up some tantalizing information about great-grandpa Morris Duberstein's business, the Consolidated Wafer Co. An early manufacturer of ice-cream cones, the business was in Brooklyn, but apparently had offices or manufacturing facilities in Chicago, San Francisco and elsewhere. 

It appears that Consolidated Wafer was merged in the mid-1920s with several other ice-cream cone manufacturers, and that merged entity was sold to Nabisco in 1928, a year after Morris died in Brooklyn.

Hi, I have a glass item that was used to make ice creme sandwiches that is from the Consolidated Wafer Co.
Thanks for your information on the background, and your family history.
