    Gilchrist Company Ice Cream Scoop

    Model 44
    Size 16*
    Circa: 1910

    *Special thanks to string-of-pearls for helping correct this information)

    This is a Gilchrist Company Ice Cream Scoop. I picked this up today and at first thought it was a candle snuffer because it's a very small size. The top has the unmistakable G for the Gilchrist Company and acts as a turn key, turning the two paddles on the inside of the scoop to dislodge the ice cream from the scoop.

    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 44
    "The letter G finial on this model was an obvious indicator that it was from the Gilchrist Company. It was not introduced until after 1910 and was a somewhat late entry for this style scoop. The model 44 was produced in sizes 4,5,6,8,10,12,16,20."

    ***I found an older post from CW and a great link for Gilchrist. I'll add them to the comments***

      Nice scoop in great condition! The size looks like 16 to me. That tells how many scoops you get from a quart of ice cream, so a smaller bowl has a larger size number. I used to collect vintage scoops though I parted with them a few years ago and only kept a couple with smaller round bowls for portioning out cookie dough onto baking sheets.

      String of Pearls... Thank you for the information. This is a small scoop..about 2" wide, so 16 would sense. I will correct the information. We are going back this week to buy some more stuff before the seller moves..I'm pretty sure the other scoop she has was also a 1930s Gilchrist scoop with the scoop action handle. I already messaged her and said I wanted it.
