thebelvedereman Posted August 26, 2018 Report Posted August 26, 2018 My stepmother found it in the basement, along with a whole bunch of car parts, the little knob on the end spins the two arms that are inside the funnel, and I have no idea what it is, not even sure if it's for anything to do with cars lol Quote

Expand LOL, well I guess it's not for working on cars then, I wonder what the heck it was doing with a bunch of antique car parts, maybe they were working on cars and making ice cream LOL Quote
DonaldSmith Posted August 27, 2018 Report Posted August 27, 2018 Ice cream scoop makes sense. Twisting the knob will move the arms to cut the ice cream free. ...or whatever sticky mass you are scooping. Peanut butter? Quote
thebelvedereman Posted August 27, 2018 Author Report Posted August 27, 2018 yep, it was invented in 1887, and it's called a conical key scoop, and it was used mainly in ice cream parlors between 1887 and 1920, my stepmother found it with a bunch of antique auto parts, I guess they just threw it in there because it was an antique it's pretty much in perfect shape Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 27, 2018 Report Posted August 27, 2018 they threw it in because like you in the beginning it was an unknown item....it is also the first time I saw a scoop of this style...very interesting ...thanks for posting... Quote

Expand No problem Tim, and thank you everyone I wouldn't have known what it was either if it wasn't for you guys, I looked up just about everything I could think of on the internet including a flour sifter, we got a great bunch of guys here, and I knew that one of you would know what it was, and then after you guys figured it out I did some research on the internet and found out exactly when it was made and everything, I might just throw it on the backseat of my car and take it to the cruise nights with the rest of the antique stuff that I have in the car Quote
pflaming Posted August 27, 2018 Report Posted August 27, 2018 Maybe take a canister of homemade ice cream, demonstrate and make a lot of friends while having fun. Quote
thebelvedereman Posted August 27, 2018 Author Report Posted August 27, 2018 I don't know if I'd make any friends, it appears to be galvanized, and would probably just taste like old metal LOL Quote

(Cold tin plating, or "bright tin", is not food safe, but hot tin plating was used on lots of steel food service & processing items, like a hand meat grinder, for instance.) Quote
Plymouthy Adams Posted August 27, 2018 Report Posted August 27, 2018 a cat therefore found cooked on a hot tin roof would be safe to eat..... Quote

(After we rinsed out the spiders, of course.) Quote

johnsartain Posted September 29, 2018 Report Posted September 29, 2018 (edited) Ice cream scoop, car parts... We have a guy that sets up and sells homemade ice cream at our county fair. He has Ice Cream machines powered by a old John Deere popper engines. Pretty neat to watch, and some good Ice Cream as well. Edited September 29, 2018 by johnsartain Quote
