What is it??

[tommy1de]

I found this in an old farmhouse kitchen; obviously some kind of kitchen gadget. Anyone know what it is? One person suggested it might be a soft boiled egg scoop, but I can't find anything similar. Can you help? Tommy

Wow Tommy I must say I have not got a clue! But hey welcome to SpicePlace, & hopefully someone else will have an answer for you! Good Luck!

It's about 5 inches long, wooden handle, "scoop," about the size of a tablespoon, but thicker, with the two cut-outs. All edges are blunt; looks like the scoop is spot welded to handle bracked which is press fitted to handle.

I wonder if it is some kind of a butter scoop, that they used to sccop butter from the churn and place it into the molds? Just a Wild-Azz-Guess

Hey Mama don't you know what this thing is???

OK IC you have just got to know!!!!!

hi tommy 1
Seems a strange shape

Like a spoon to fill small Bottles
Or be used for grain
MmMmMm
When learning how to use

Told me

I can't quite make it out - could be for removing pickles/olives from a jar - if the sides are cut off - looking at the very first picture it almost looks like it could "hang" on the side of a jar for filling it
??????????????????
pic is small - wish it was bigger

[Mama Mangia]

not knowing how "strong" it is - possible ice cream scoop - can't be a gravy ladle - do the sides turn up - that's what it looks like -
can you make the pic bigger?

[Mama Mangia]

got me thinking - could be a scoop - or a butter scoop

are there any names or markings on the scoop or the wood?

the fact that it is "sideways" it has to be some sort of a scoop

(geez make me think..........my poor brain cells - LOL!)

MamaM double click on the images of the "thing" and it will show you a larger image!

Calling CanMan.......Calling CanMan>>>>Do you know what it is??? I sort of have a feeling he will know!

Never seen one before, but looks like either an ice cream or a butter scoop or something of that texture. Looks like the "spoon" is dragged along the surface which causes whatever to curl up on the spoon.

That's my guess.
