De-Icer was released in1949 by Williams Electronics, designed by Harry Williams with artwork by George Molentin.

The machine's theme revolves around snow and ice removal equipment, a unique concept that stood out among the more common themes of that period such as sports, fantasy, or Americana. However, there is an inuendo in the artwork by George Molentin; the implication is that the woman sitting on the WWII plane is so "Hot" that she could melt the ice off the wing. She also bears a distinct resemblance to Lauren Bacall who was one of the leading ladies of Hollywood at the time and famously married to Humphry Bogart.
