Here is a set of 2 Vintage Gilchrist No. 31 Ice Cream Scoops.

The Gilchrist Co. began in 1902 as a hardware store in Newark, N.J. By the 1910s, the company had moved to a larger building and was producing more ice cream scoops than any other single manufacturer in the United States. Gilchrist also made cork pullers, ice picks, lemon squeezers and other hardware buying specialty items. The company's founder, Raymond Gilchrist, was issued a patent for his No. 31 scoop in 1915. This scoop is considered the most popular ice cream scoop ever made. The metal parts are nickel-plated brass. The Gilchrist Co. became a subsidiary of the Scoville Manufacturing Co. of Waterbury, Conn., about 1926.

Scoops are 11" long, and in great working condition. One is cleaned/polished, the other is not.
