Product Description:    The first ice cream scoop was patented in 1878, by George William Clewell of Reading, PA.  This pair of early conical ice cream scoops were the first design to dispense ice cream from one single utensil using two hands.  Measuring 7 3/8” long, they feature a cone shape scoop with an open-heart turn-key at the top which turns the two scrapers on the inside to dislodge the ice cream.  “Clad’s Disher” is incised on one scraper.  A wonderful, early ice cream parlor collectibles!
