Classic vintage Gilchrist No. 31 mechanical ice cream scoop, featuring the iconic geared release mechanism and warm wooden handle. Made by the Gilchrist Company of Newark, New Jersey, these durable scoops were widely used in early soda fountains and ice cream parlours.
The thumb lever rotates the internal sweeper to release the scoop cleanly, making it both a practical kitchen tool and a wonderful piece of vintage culinary history.
Beautiful aged patina on the metal and a nicely worn wooden handle give this piece plenty of character—perfect for display in a farmhouse kitchen, café, or vintage collection.
