Two old icepicks, plus one that's probably newer, just because it was handy. The two most interesting of course are the ones with various colored painted logos on them... ;-)
The one on top is most worn, but also the only one that is an 'advertising item', for either/both "CITY PRODUCTS CORPORATION" or the "VITALAIRE AIR-CONDITIONED ICE REFRIGERATOR", its other two sides are more generic promotion for 'bagged ice'.
The bottom one is in much better shape, but only promotes the general usage of ice. (vs., presumably, new-fangled electric refrigeration?) The middle one was probably part of a relatively modern 'bar set', as it doesn't appear to ever have had any other lettering or anything under the black paint on its handle.
They're shown with a $2 bill for size reference... ;-) :-)
I used my parent’s old ice pick just a few days ago when I was doing a reupholstery project and needed to poke a hole thru webbing. I’ve used that think since I was a child and now it’s in my own kitchen drawer.
The handle is squared, just like yours are, and still as sharp as ever. They were made to last!
