1914 Gilchrist Ice Cream Scoop Model 30
Approximately 10" long, scoop inside diameter 2"
Scoop is marked 20(Thanks to string-of-pearls for spotting that..good eyes!)
I finally made it back to pick this up. As you remember I recently posted the 1910 Gilchrist scoop. This one has the squeeze handle.
GILCHRIST COMPANY
"The Gilchrist Co. was a maker of ice cream scoops from 1906 to 1931. The company was originally a maker of hardware items sold to the day's soda fountains. The Gilchrist company quickly became a dominant competitor in the ice cream scoop business during these 25 years."
MODEL 30
"This all-metal offering was the only squeeze handle type scoop offered by Gilchrist. It was quite robust, and many can be found today.
The model 30 was made in sizes 6,8,10,12,16,20,30,40.
The patent request was filed in 1907 but not issued until 1914."

Thanks Kera. And thanks to all for loving my ice cream scoop.
Such a nice scoop. It’ll be serving ice cream for many more years. You probably noticed but I’ll just mention it’s size 20 (20 scoops per quart), stamped on the scraper.
String of..Very good eyes, I posted it quite hastily..I did miss that. Thank you for pointing that out. I will update the post..
Loved using it, serving ice cream as a casual at Coles here in Sydney in the 60’s on the sweets counter. The woman who normally ran that area had a one hour lunch break and sometimes I got to move out of hardware and into her realm.
Vetraio..thanks for sharing your memories, good stuff
Thanks Kera. Always nice to see the patent information. Very interesting.
