CONICAL SHAPE ICE CREAM SCOOP CIRCA 1950S

This vintage metal conical cone shaped ice cream scoop is marked Clad Disher on the inside.  It would date circa the 1940s- through the 1950s. After scooping up the ice cream you would turn the key at the top to release the ice cream.  The handle has the number 8 on it.  The scoop is approximately 2 7/8 inches across the top.  The overall length of the scoop including the handle is 7 ¾ inches.  There is an old repair where the handle was reattached to the body of the scoop.  There are a couple of spots of rust on the handle and the inside of the scoop. The metal has a great old patina from age and use.    This would be a great addition to any vintage soda fountain or kitchen utensil collection.
