a genuine early-20th-century Gilchrist No. 30 mechanical ice cream scoop, manufactured in Newark, New Jersey. This rugged, professional-grade tool features a chrome-over-brass construction with its original internal spring and gear-driven scraper mechanism.

The handle end is clearly stamped with size "20", indicating it yields twenty standard scoops per quart (approx. 2 oz volume). It features a beautiful, authentic vintage patina with minor cosmetic surface wear consistent with age and commercial use. Mechanically sound and an excellent addition to any collection of vintage kitchenalia, dairy memorabilia, or barware.
